Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a very imposing frame. Is versatile enough to play both center and wing. Excels in the face-off dot, can kill penalties and score in the clutch.
Flaws
  • Mainly because of a lack of skating speed and coordination, he doesn't score a lot at the highest level. Also doesn't use his big body effectively enough.
Career Potential
  • Defensive forward.
