Scouting Report
The reliable two-way forward can play all three forward positions, and he is usable in any and all game situations. He has a solid work ethic, skates well and has a fine shot. Overcame type 1 diabetes to captain USA to gold at the 2017 WJC and fashion an NHL career after being a first-round pick in the 2016 draft, so there is no questioning his drive to compete.
Long Range Potential: Good two-way forward who can score a little.
