| Scouting Report |
| A skilled forward with good offensive instincts. A dynamic skater
who can be elusive in traffic and is dangerous in one-on-one situations.
Handles the puck well at top speed, passes well and has a good wrist
shot that he gets off quickly. Very good in puck pursuit game.
Anticipates plays well. Has an
excellent work ethic. |
| Quotable |
A quiet assassin who kills softly.
Red Line Report
He's a torpedo forechecker. He gets to loose pucks in a flash and
knows where he is moving the puck. I think he has excellent vision
offensively.
