Scouting Report
Owns good hands and the ability to produce offense at lower levels. Has a nose for the net and is aggressive on the forecheck. Likes to play the body and is capable of laying players out in open ice. Can play center and wing. Plays a style that leads to injuries, especially for someone of his stature (5-11, 187 pounds). Lacks consistency and was never able to live up to advanced billing as a potential franchise player. His work ethic is also suspect.
Long Range Potential: Talented, gritty but inconsistent forward.
