Scouting Report
A big scorer in college hockey, he has adapted to a depth role at the NHL level. He can be a pest to play against; he is a straight-line skater and solid up-and-down winger that make him an irritant to opponents, and help him win puck battles. Still has to show that he has the endurance to avoid the injury problems inherent in his style.
Long Range Potential: Defensive depth winger (when healthy).
