Scouting Report

Assets
  • Big and mobile, he owns soft hands that do damage around the net. Can score goals and set up his linemates. When on his game, he can dominate down low.
Flaws
  • Injuries have become a major problem. Lacks discipline and takes a lot of bad penalties in the offensive zone. Is a lazy defensive winger.
Career Potential
  • Aging power forward.
