Scouting Report
Skates very well and displays constant energy on the ice. Is a sound playmaker with the ability to score goals, too. Can really dangle with the biscuit on his blade. Does not have ideal size (5'10", 200 pounds), though he has gotten bigger with time. Should be able to produce points in the NHL on a regular basis, but has enough versatility to remain useful in case/when he does not.
Long Range Potential: Speedy, versatile forward with upside.
