Scouting Report
Was a hulking winger with the ability to play a strong forechecking game. Had some scoring ability at lower levels. Could intimidate with his size and pugnacity. Was never afraid to mix it up. Always stuck up for his teammates. Was not much of a playmaker and had somewhat limited offensive tools for the NHL game. Needed work on his defensive game. Was also prone to taking bad penalties that hurt his team (at times, he went over the edge).
Long Range Potential: Heavyweight enforcer/physical depth winger.
