Scouting Report
Has the girth to thrive at the National Hockey League level, plus he uses it to his advantage at lower levels. Is a good playmaker with both great vision and deft passing skills. Will need to shoot the puck more often in order to keep National Hockey League defenders honest. Also needs to avoid the injury bug down the road to maximize output.
Long Range Potential: Solid center with some upside.
