Scouting Report
Possessed great wheels, an excellent shot and a goal-scorer's mentality. Excelled in shootouts and was an asset on the power play at lower levels. Was a little small by NHL standards, which hurt his ability to win battles in the corners. Did not always play with enough intensity for the NHL.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent, depth scoring winger.
