Scouting Report
Is known for his hard work, grit, determination and willingness to learn. Can produce offense at lower levels. Does not mind playing in physical games. Lacks optimum size (5'10", 176 pounds) for the National Hockey League game, and also lacks game-breaking ability. Is not a top-six forward option for the NHL, so he needs to maximize his role-playing ability.
Long Range Potential: Hard-working depth forward.
