Scouting Report
The Danish winger spent his formative years in both Sweden and North America, logging minutes in the J20 SuperElit league and the Western Hockey League before turning pro. Is a natural goal-scoring winger with outstanding offensive instincts. He also boasts a very projectable 6'2" frame. Is a volume shooter who can pick corners, but he can also distribute the puck to his linemates with aplomb (making him the total offensive package). In order to maximize output in the National Hockey League, he must become stronger and a better overall defender.
Long Range Potential: Talented scoring winger with upside.
