Scouting Report
Has very good two-way instincts and sound work ethic for the pros. Owns a projectable NHL frame and some ability as a point producer, as well. Is responsible in all game situations. The jury is still out on his ability to score consistently at the highest level, so he may be reduced to a bottom-six forward role in the NHL. Must also add more bulk and get stronger.
Long Range Potential: Depth forward.
