Scouting Report

Assets:	Skates well and provides a ton of energy. Has some scoring ability; he likes to shoot the puck, but also plays well without it. Can also throw his body around.
Flaws:	Must continue to get physically stronger, since he's a little light (6-1, 195 pounds). Also needs to play a more consistent, disciplined game and avoid injuries.
Career Potential:	Inconsistent, yet versatile energy winger.
