Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a tenacious forechecker and sound defensive forward. Owns grit and aggression, which he displays all over the ice. Can play any forward position.
Flaws
  • Is an extremely limited offensive contributor. Must work extra hard just to maintain a spot in the NHL because of a lack of natural talent.
Career Potential
  • Fourth line forward.
