Scouting Report
Assets: Has electric moves, outstanding offensive creativity and smarts, as well as plenty of finishing skills. Is at his best with the puck on his stick. Has amazing hands, which he uses to lay soft passes on linemates' sticks. Can play both center and wing. Dominates on special teams at the NHL level.
Flaws: Doesn't shoot the puck instinctively, so he tends to pass up quality scoring chances from time to time. Lacks ideal size to win corner battles at the highest level but is extremely courageous and resilient, and physical play doesn't bother him. Will turn the puck over, since he has it so often.
Career Potential: Elite playmaker with game-changing acumen.
