Scouting Report
Is an excellent defensive forward with some offensive acumen at lower levels. Can play on either side of center, which adds to his overall value. Does not have ideal size (5-11, 189 pounds), nor does he own elite skill or finishing ability, so he'll probably be limited to a bottom-six forward role.
Long Range Potential: Sound winger with a little upside.
