Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a very imposing frame. Is versatile enough to play both center and wing. Usually provides an honest effort. Can score goals at lower levels.
Flaws
  • Mainly because of a lack of skating speed and coordination, he doesn't project to score a lot at the highest level. Should use his big body more effectively.
Career Potential
  • Fourth line forward.
