Scouting Report
The smooth-skating forward has great hands, is elusive in the offensive zone and owns a quick release that can catch opposing goaltenders off guard. He is a solid skater for the NHL game but his defensive play still needs improvement. He is a standout with the puck on his stick, so he could become a major asset on the power play at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Talented, offensive-minded forward.
