A prolific goal-scoring winger, he tallied 25 times in 48 games with Tappara's junior squad (Jr. A SM-liiga) in his draft year. Not only does he own a deadly shot but he also understands that in order to score goals regularly one must pay the price and sacrifice the body. He owns a solid frame despite his lack of optimum height for the National Hockey League. Needs to become a more committed defensive winger--and a more mature athlete in general--to maximize output at the highest level. If he figures it all out, watch out!

Long Range Potential: Inconsistent, sharpshooting winger with good upside.
