Scouting Report
Is among the smaller forwards in the National Hockey League, but his skill level compensates for his lack of size. Capable of playing both wing and center, he uses elite quickness to dart in and out of scoring areas. Also, he is not afraid to go in the dirty areas of the ice, despite his lack of girth. Like most players his size, he must prove capable of withstanding the constant rigors of the NHL over time.
Long Range Potential: Diminutive scoring forward.
