Scouting Report
Strengths: Offensively gifted. Has great speed and
is creative with the puck. Has a very heavy shot that is deceptive for
goalies to guess the destination.
|
Weaknesses: Needs to shoot and hit the net more.
Consistency is an issue as well, as there are far too many nights when he is
a non-factor.
|
Projected Role: Potential gamebreaker, 1st line
winger
