Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is an excellent penalty-killer and tenacious checker versus offensive forwards. Brings energy to the lineup every shift. Is a threat to score while short-handed and a born leader.
Flaws
  • Doesn't put up the consistent numbers needed to play on a scoring line. Plays with reckless abandon, which can sometimes lead to injury. Has started to wear down physically.
Career Potential
  • Speedy defensive forward.
