Scouting Report
Was a good skater with pretty good hockey sense and anticipation. Also worked hard, could kill penalties and boasted excellent offensive instincts at lower levels. Could play both wing and center. Lacked ideal size for the highest level, so he also lacked the strength to better handle the trenches and win more battles. Injuries at the junior level damaged his playing career early. Lacked consistency.
Long Range Potential: Skilled, versatile but rather fragile depth forward.
