Scouting Report
Assets: Has a projectable frame and plenty of speed and quickness (he's strong in his lower body). Can score goals at every level, as well as set up his linemates with aplomb. Thinks the game well and has plenty of two-way upside.
Flaws: Needs to fill out his 6-1 frame and gain greater upper-body strength in order to maximize his long-range potential at the National Hockey League level. Must also become a more consistent player in all three zones.
Career Potential: Speedy, talented and versatile forward with upside.
