Scouting Report
Has proven capable of producing solid numbers at the minor-league level. Works extremely hard every shift. Also has good size (6-1, 207 pounds) and can rough it up. Lacks the skating ability that is required to play a prominent scoring role at the NHL level. Is not great defensively, and his skill level is not enough to compensate.
Long Range Potential: Depth winger.
