Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is one of the best open-ice hitters in the game, a gifted penalty-killer and face-off man. Has excellent leadership skills and always has his game-face on.
Flaws
  • His kamikaze approach to the game leads to a multitude of injuries. Isn't a natural goal-scorer, and goes through stretches without points.
Career Potential
  • Two-way center.
