Scouting Report
Had a good combination of size and skating ability. Was a sound body checker. Defensively aware, he also displayed a few flashes of offensive ability. Was somewhat trust-worthy with the game on the line. Lacked the consistency needed to produce quality top-six winger numbers in the NHL. Struggled in the hockey sense department and didn't use his 6-4, 230-pound frame nearly enough to keep opponents honest.
Long Range Potential: Big, versatile defensive winger.
