Scouting Report
A quick release and deceptive shot from anywhere were keys to his game, since he could score goals with aplomb when on his game. Could also line up at all three forward positions, if need be. Got rattled in physical contests. Was not great in his own zone and generally lacked consistency. Was prone to injury due to a lack of size and strength. Had trouble adjusting to certain systems.
Long Range Potential: Versatile sniper.
