For a player with his tremendous size, he skates exceptionally well and uses both very well to forecheck opponents and create space for himself and his linemates. Can also kill penalties with aplomb. Produces decent totals at lower levels but is more of a two-way player through and through. Defends his position fairly well. Does not own elite puck skills, so he is more of a role player at the highest level. Shoots the puck with good velocity, but he simply lacks the finishing skills of a true sniper. | |
Long Range Potential: | Big, fast and versatile depth forward with a little upside. |
