| 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. Needs to work on play in his own end. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
