Scouting Report
The smart, skilled forward has the hockey sense and passing ability needed to play in the NHL. He is a mature player who can make his teammates better, and has put up excellent offensive numbers in the American Hockey League. His biggest problem continues to be a lack of optimum skating speed; he is still trying to prove he has the wheels to play at the NHL level.
Long Range Potential: Skilled depth winger.
