Scouting Report
Assets: Owns outstanding reach and a very projectable frame, so he can play keepaway with the puck virtually at will. Is an excellent offensive performer whose patience with the puck is off the charts. Can score goals with aplomb, too, thanks to a rocket of a shot.
Flaws: As one of the most highly decorated American players to come along in years, there will be major pressure for him to perform on a nightly basis. Can he handle the spotlight? Also, he could stand to add more bulk and strength in order to shine in the NHL.
Career Potential: Outstanding offensive talent with big upside.
