Scouting Report
Has a wiry body and plenty of shiftiness in the attacking zone. Can put up good point totals when he's on top of his game. Owns National Hockey League size and some two-way acumen. Does not use his big frame enough to his advantage, and also lacks consistency in a big way. Can take bad penalties, mainly due to laziness. Isn't assertive enough in the NHL.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent, versatile veteran forward.
