Scouting Report
Had excellent size and strength. Complemented star forwards well. Could line up on either side of center and was an asset parked in front of the opposing goal. Was savvy and owned some leadership ability. Was not always physical enough for his size. His work in the defensive zone (and play in general) lacked consistency. Could be guilty of not moving his feet at times, which hurt his game considerably.
Long Range Potential: Big, versatile complementary winger.
