Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is one of the best pugilists of all time. Has the ability to utilize his tremendous size to play keepaway with the puck and create space for his linemates.
Flaws
  • His skating is well below NHL standards. Doesn't always drop the gloves to defend teammates, and is a little reluctant to play the enforcer role.
Career Potential
  • Heavyweight enforcer.
