Scouting Report

Assets
  • Always gives maximum effort every shift. Has solid defensive instincts and the ability to lay on the body. Is not an easy player to line up against.
Flaws
  • A little undersized, his hard-nosed approach will often lead to serious injuries. Doesn't have a lot of offensive weapons to hurt opposing goaltenders.
Career Potential
  • Fourth line forward.
