Scouting Report
As exciting a player as any fan could want to watch when healthy, he has terrific speed, excellent puck-handling skills and one-on-one moves. He is short but very solid on his skates, meaning he can win his share of puck battles. In addition, he has a terrific shot that he gets away quickly and accurately, and he anticipates plays well. His biggest issue is the injury bug, which has slowed him down some at various points.
Long Range Potential: Elite scoring winger (when healthy).
