Scouting Report
His low center of gravity helps him win board battles that he is expected to lose. It is also a factor in his excellent skating ability. Works hard and can be used in all game situations. Does not own elite puck skills, so he may be reduced to a bottom-six forward role in the professional ranks. Will need to gain greater upper-body strength and fill out his frame.
Long Range Potential: Solid, versatile forward with upside.
