Scouting Report
The undrafted forward drew interest from NHL teams after helping the University of Minnesota-Duluth win an NCAA championship. He has good offensive instincts, which help make up for a lack of size. He has to continue to improve his 200-foot game and add strength in order to better cope with the demands of the NHL.
Long Range Potential: Late-blooming depth forward.
