Scouting Report
The 2014 sixth-round pick has good hockey sense and playmaking skills, which help compensate for a lack of ideal size. He does his best work in the offensive zone and is a good fit on a line with a good finisher. Consistency remains an issue; he can drive play for stretches, but then have streaks when he is almost invisible. Injuries can also be a factor here.
Long Range Potential: Depth winger (when healthy).
