Scouting Report
The smallish forward was a consistent scorer and a three-year captain in college hockey, and has wasted no time showing he has the potential for NHL success. He plays with speed and confidence, and can dangle past defenders or hang into pucks in tight spaces. His maturity level is high for a young player, and he knows how to find open spaces to make plays. Can play both wing and center, which adds value.
Long Range Potential: Talented, versatile forward.
