Scouting Report
He is still trying to recapture the form that enabled him to make a big splash as a rookie. Has excellent offensive instincts and good hockey sense, making him both a good playmaker and a finisher. His lack of size will be an issue throughout his career, though he has the speed and skill to be a top-line forward--especially if he has bigger linemates to play with.
Long Range Potential: Speedy, talented offensive forward.
