Scouting Report
Forechecking is his best asset, thanks to his speed and tenacity on the puck. Has sound instincts and hockey sense. Can play on either side of center and kill penalties. Is an extremely hard worker. Lacks ideal size for the National Hockey League, which hurts his chances of being a top-six winger. Must prove he can withstand the rigors of the NHL and avoid injury over a long period of time.
Long Range Potential: Tenacious winger, when healthy.
