Scouting Report
Owns a very imposing frame (6'2"). Is a productive scorer who shoots the puck with aplomb (and often) at lower levels. Can be a factor on special teams, too, especially in front of the opposing goal. His skating issues have never gone away, preventing him from securing a regular spot in an NHL lineup. Also, he is not an overly physical type, despite good size. He must always produce enough offense to remain relevant.
Long Range Potential: Depth winger.
