Scouting Report
Had NHL size and some scoring ability. Also, he was a physical force who was at his best when working the puck down low on the cycle and crashing the net for ugly goals. Was largely unproven against tougher competition. Also, he did not have high-end creativity and was pretty much reduced to a bottom-six forward role in the pro ranks.
Long Range Potential: Physical, depth forward.
