Scouting Report
Had impressive size and reach. Was a sound two-way pivot with the ability to take over games in a variety of ways. Owned good hands, a defensive conscience and sound playmaking ability. Despite his tremendous size (6'6", 230 pounds), he was injured way too much. Did not utilize his big frame nearly enough, especially on offense. Also, he never really found a reasonable level of consistency at the National Hockey League level. A debilitating back injury forced him to end his career early.
Long Range Potential: Quality, two-way center with great size (when healthy).
