Scouting Report
Has great speed, which he uses frequently in all three zones. Owns good vision and playmaking skills, too, and also shoots the puck with purpose. Is a dynamic forward, overall. Does not have optimum size for a National Hockey League forward, so he needs to add more bulk and get a lot stronger in order to maximize output at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Talented, speedy forward with upside.
