Talent Analysis
Offensively oriented, the right winger is by no means tiny, but his size is something that he will have to overcome to play in the NHL. His two seasons in the AHL have made him stronger and a little grittier. He has always been an edgy, hard working forward, both of which will help him in earn a spot on the Flames roster.
Future
Somewhere between a third or fourth line option on the right wing for the Calgary Flames. His age and production in the AHL would lead you to believe that his time with the Flames will come sooner rather than later.
