Scouting Report
The first-round pick in the 2015 NHL Draft is entering his career prime still looking for a regular role. Has put up decent scoring numbers in the AHL thanks to his playmaking skills, but has yet to come close to replicating those totals in the NHL. There are no questions about his hockey IQ or work ethic, but his size and ability to adapt to the physicality of the NHL remain issues.
Long Range Potential: Depth forward.
