Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a strong defender while his team is short-handed and an excellent team leader. Will make his presence felt on every shift. Loves to take the body and isn't afraid of dropping the gloves.
Flaws
  • Lacks mobility, and it's not getting better with age. Tends to stray out of position in order to line up his opponent for the big hit. Shows little in the way of offense. Takes too many penalties.
Career Potential
