Big centre-wing with a long reach, size, decent and enough skill and skate to possibly project as a 3rd line pro player who brings a strong effort and strong penalty killing sauve. Has more work to do on his skating, turns and his agilty, as he is more of a straight skater at this juncture. Excellent in puck pursuit and is enough of a horse that e can play big minutes tenderizing the opposition. Strong on his pins with good staright line power. A good penalty killer, and is overall very responsible defensively. Lacks lateral agility, and first step quickness. Works hard and could eventually be a versatile pro.
