Scouting Report
If you need a power-play goal, he is your man. Is fast with great hands, excels at finding holes in a penalty kill and gets off a quick, hard shot that can find its mark. Scoring is his stock in trade; it is the rest of his game that has some holes. His defensive play needs a lot of work and he is not physical, so he always needs linemates who can complement him.
Long Range Potential: Sniper with some holes in his game.
