Scouting Report
Was a creative playmaker and offensive forward. Vastly improved over time the way he used space and his linemates. Displayed a feisty disposition, excellent skating skills and a solid work ethic on most nights. Lacked ideal size and defensive acumen. Overhandled the puck on occasion and could fall into backchecking funks, opting for the easy way out from time to time. Injuries and a lack of discipline were also factors here.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent but skilled and versatile playmaker, when healthy.
