Scouting Report
The son of longtime NHL defenseman Curtis Leschyshyn compensates for being a little on the small size for a forward by being tenacious on the forecheck. He is willing to give up his body to get in front of a shot or take out an opponent. However, he will have to get stronger in order to thrive as a defensive forward in the NHL. Showed some offensive ability in junior hockey, which is encouraging.
Long Range Potential: Hard-working depth forward.
