Fantasy Summary

A creative, 200-foot power forward with good vision who can stickhandle in tight areas, often finding teammates with ease. Due to his size on the offensive end of the ice, he easily maintains and protects the puck. However, his production and work ethic are inconsistent; more opportunity and experience can help improve this aspect of his game. He has the potential to become a top-six playmaking power forward with special team contributions or, at worst, a reliable bottom-six depth player.
