Scouting Report

Strengths: 

Always leads by example. Is tenacious on the forecheck and a very hard worker. Also owns a decent pair of hands and defensive acumen. Can play either wing position.

Weaknesses: 

Isn't overly big or strong, so his ability to dominate play in the corners will always come into question. Isn't a natural finisher, so scoring slumps will happen.

Projection: 

Versatile two-way winger with energy, and a born leader.
