Scouting Report
Played the body well. Was defensively aware and displayed energy on every shift. Could be a shift disturber, kill penalties with aplomb and was versatile enough to play all three forward positions. Lacked the offensive skills needed to play steady minutes in the NHL. Would occasionally run into penalty trouble. Could go into prolonged scoring droughts that seemingly never ended. Was not much of a pugilist.
Long Range Potential: Energy forward.
