Scouting Report
Though he has not lived up to his status as a first-round pick (in 2016), he has found his niche as a big, hard-working defensive forward who does his best work keeping opponents off the scoreboard. He can contribute a few goals, but his usefulness suffers when asked to play more than he is cut out for. He is most valuable when put in a position that allows him to play to his strengths.
Long Range Potential: Sound, versatile depth forward.
