Scouting Report

Assets
  • Plays the body well. Is defensively aware and displays energy on every shift. Can be a shift disturber, kills penalties with aplomb and is versatile enough to play all three forward positions.
Flaws
  • Lacks the offensive skills needed to play a top-six role in the NHL. Will occasionally run into penalty trouble. Can go into prolonged scoring droughts that seemingly never end.
Career Potential
  • Defensive depth forward.
