When he was in the Rimouski Oceanic lineup as a QMJHL rookie in his draft year, the talented winger was rather productive. He also opened scouts' eyes with his performance at the WJC for the Czech squad. Unfortunately, injuries played a big role in dampening his draft stock (if not his prospect status overall). Still, his goal-scoring prowess and feisty attitude on the ice bode well for his professional prospects. Can line up on either side of center, which adds to his overall value as a winger prospect. Needs to get physically stronger to maximize output as a pro. Must also prove he can stay healthy. | |
