Scouting Report

ASSETS: Has decent size, great speed and a heavy, accurate shot. Can line up on either side of center and displays brief flashes of offensive brilliance.

FLAWS: He was hyped too early, so his work ethic suffered greatly as a result. It has improved tremendously as of late though. Must also prove he can step up his game when given added responsibilities.

CAREER POTENTIAL: Top-six forward.
