Scouting Report
Was a huge physical specimen with intimidation qualities. Could drop the gloves and hit with belligerent intent. Played a team-first game at all times. Did not have enough skills to play a scoring role at the National Hockey League level. His defensive-zone coverage was never a strong suit of his.
Long Range Potential: Heavyweight enforcer.
