Scouting Report
Strengths: Excellent offensive instincts and
stickhandling. Very good skater with decent speed. Has a solid understanding
of the game, sees the ice well, and is an effective playmaker. Strong player
on the penalty kill, and defensively reliable.
|
Weaknesses: Lack of size and strength are a
concern. Plays like a (self proclaimed) "little girl" in the playoffs.
Confidence is shaky at this point.
|
Projected Role: Two-way centerman, 2nd or 3rd
line.
