Scouting Report
Strengths:
Possesses uncanny vision and creativity. Skates very well for a 6-4 center. Has excellent hand/eye coordination and a goal-scorer's touch.
Weaknesses:
Will occasionally take matters into his own hands, which penalizes his team because he's needed on the ice. Has yet to reach expectations on offense.
