Scouting Report

Assets
  • Possesses one of the most intimidating packages in the league. Has a decent skating stride. Is still one of the best pugilists in the NHL.
Flaws
  • Is a bit too deliberate when handling and passing the puck. Doesn't fight as much as he used to, and is known to pick his spots these days.
Career Potential
  • Fourth line enforcer.
