Scouting Report
Assets: Armed with excellent hockey sense and very good passing skills, he can play solidly in all three zones. Skates well and is also somewhat elusive.
Flaws: Doesn't own ideal size for the National Hockey League, so he must continue to add more bulk to his 6-1 frame in order to maximize output.
Career Potential: Solid two-way forward with a little upside.
