Scouting Report:
A complete player with average size, but who can play each forward position if needed. Has good top speed and uses his good overview to set up plays. Possesses a hard and accurate pass and although he rather passes than fires the puck, his shot is decent and he uses all of his shot arsenal. Is a good two-way forward who has a decent defensive mind and backchecks well. Though needs to stand better in shooting lanes and keeps his stick on the ice to interrupt plays in his own zone. No physical game at all but still isn't afraid to go into corner battles. Kevin is a very matured player who has experience and shows hockey sense. Is calm on the puck and shows puckhandling skills.         

NHL Potential: Playmaker, who has a good overview and a good pass to setup plays 

Style compares to: Frans Nielsen
