Scouting Report
The smallish but talented forward can attack defenses in a number of ways; he is a slick passer who can orchestrate a power play and make tough plays while under pressure. He has the speed to beat opponents to the outside and a shot that is good enough to score from some distance. Despite his lack of size, he competes hard and wins a fair number of puck battles.
Long Range Potential: Offensively gifted forward.
