Has tremendous size for the center position, plus a sound two-way mentality. Also handles the puck with aplomb and usually makes the right play at the right time. Is extremely low-maintenance. Uses his size well. Must improve his skating ability in order to thrive as a big, two-way force in the NHL. Also, the jury is still out on his long-range scoring upside (i.e. he may have to settle for a bottom-six forward role in the pros). | |
Long Range Potential: | Big, two-way center with some upside. |
