Scouting Report
Is an industrious, feisty forward who can provide energy to a hockey club. Can play both wing and center, which adds value at the NHL level. Is a decent point producer at lower levels. Does not have a lot of size, so his durability may come into question over time. Is not a great passer. Lacks the high-end skills normally associated with a top-six forward at the NHL level.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, depth forward with a little upside.
