Scouting Report
The big forward has a high compete level to go with skill and scoring ability. He is a threat in the offensive zone because of his on-ice vision, shot and puck skills, and he wins more than his share of puck battles. His biggest issue for the NHL level is his skating; he is likely quick enough but has an awkward stride that could hold him back.
Long Range Potential: Big, physical offensive forward.
