| Scouting Report |
| Good skater who is deceptively quick. He handles the
puck well and has a good, hard shot. Works well along the boards
and in the corners and is effective driving the net. He hasn't, however,
shown a consistent ability to finish. He's a smart player with good
hockey sense. He has struggled with consistency in his overall effort.
Has struggled with some shoulder problems. He is still young and has the
potential to be a solid checker who might pop in 10-15 goals per season
at the NHL level. |
