Scouting Report
A shifty winger, he sees the play well and has good offensive instincts. A deft passer, he is creative and a good playmaker. Skates very well and owns a high hockey IQ. Lacks ideal size for the National Hockey League game. His lack of strength can be a factor along the wall, so he could stand to get stronger to maximize output and improve his game-to-game consistency.
Long Range Potential: Speedy winger with consistency issues.
