Scouting Report
Had excellent offensive instincts and was a good dangler with the puck. Sneaky quick, he got around the offensive zone and had a nose for the net (with a pretty good wrister). Was also decent without the puck and in the defensive zone. Was smallish by NHL standards and as a result had difficulty winning corner battles due to a lack of strength. Could be a bit inconsistent in terms of his overall play at times.
Long Range Potential: Versatile scoring winger.
