Scouting Report
Has great size for the NHL, plus plenty of two-way appeal. Is versatile enough to play either center or wing, and he is also a capable checker. There is also some offensive upside to his game. Injuries have wreaked havoc on his development, which has stunted his growth as a player. At times, he can run into some penalty trouble because he lacks a little discipline. Lacks speed.
Long Range Potential: Versatile depth forward, when healthy.
