Scouting Report
Had good instincts and defensive prowess. Was strong on his skates and worked hard. Excelled at checking opposing top centers and killing penalties. Was also adept at winning face-offs. Didn't produce a lot of points for the amount of ice time he received at the NHL level. Lacked the instincts to shoot the puck when in good scoring position. Was not very physically imposing.
Long Range Potential: Checking center.
