Scouting Report
A big, physical winger, he likes to initiate contact and is also a willing combatant. Hits with authority and can be effective in the corners. Can be an intimidating figure at 6-3, 205 pounds. Is severely limited in terms of offensive acumen, so he will always be reduced to a fourth-line winger role at the highest level. Can be guilty of taking a few too many bad penalties, too.
Long Range Potential: Physical, depth winger.
