 Scouting Report

Strengths:

Very elusive player that never seems to get caught by a big hit. Has been able to consistently put up impressive offensive numbers despite his lack of size. Very durable with excellent speed and better hockey sense than most NHL'ers. It's hard to argue against his success thus far...

Weaknesses:

At 5' 6" he is hard pressed to win the battles on the boards with strength alone and relies on his skill to do the job. He will be undoubtedly be held back because of his size but if he continues to dominate the pro ranks he will have his shot at some point.

Projected Role:

2nd line centre
