Scouting Report
The undersized Czech forward has found an NHL niche because of his versatility; he can play anywhere up front and is an effective playmaker as well as a useful penalty killer. Needs to shoot a bit more and has to avoid injuries in order to keep his role. He is best in a complementary role on an offensive line.
Long Range Potential: Depth forward.
