Scouting Report
Had finesse, elusive moves and excellent vision. Played well coming down his off-wing and liked to set up from the side of the net on the power play. Anticipated the play very well. Was always small and light, which made him susceptible to losing battles down low. Had a few lapses of focus in the defensive zone. Lasted a long, long time but declined sharply at the end.
Long Range Potential: Savvy, excellent and long-lasting scoring winger.
