Scouting Report

Assets:	Displays good speed and quickness, and plenty of energy every shift. Works extremely hard and can play either wing position. Produces points at lower levels.
Flaws:	Is fairly tiny by today's NHL standards and lacks the strength to win battles in the corners regularly. Also lacks a little hockey sense and confidence for the highest level.
Career Potential:	Speedy depth winger with a lack of size.
