Scouting Report
Was an effective shutdown center. Was a load to line up against at 6-5, 215 pounds. Played solid defense and was also a capable playmaker. Excellent on face-offs, he scored timely goals. Lacked speed. Was not very aggressive for a player with such an imposing frame. Unfortunately, he never reached his full potential on offense. Declined in all facets of the game in the NHL.
Long Range Potential: Big, solid two-way center, when healthy.
