Scouting Report
Is a late bloomer whose ability to put the puck in the net in the minors finally earned him a chance to play in the NHL. He has a history of being a point producer as well as a defensively responsible forward who can win loose pucks and battles along the boards. He has to show more consistency to maximize his usefulness.
Long Range Potential: Solid scoring winger.
