Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has good size and strength. Can play the crash-and-bang game with aplomb. Will drop the mitts and can also play all three forward positions. Is a sound penalty-killer.
Flaws
  • His lack of soft hands limits his ice time at the National Hockey League level. Isn't a heavyweight, so his ability to enforce leaves a little to be desired.
Career Potential
  • Physical energy forward.
  • Awards
