Scouting Report
The smallish but speedy winger plays a lot bigger than his size, especially when it comes to offense. Knows how to find holes in the defense and is a talented finisher as well as a solid playmaker. Injuries are an occasional problem, though he is good at avoiding big hits by opposing checkers because of his speed and hockey IQ.
Long Range Potential: Outstanding finisher and all-around winger.
