A strong power forward in the making… plays with intensity and competitiveness that is hard to match…skates well going in straight lines…drives to the net and is hard to move once there…is mean and plays with an edge…always looking for the big hit…he owns the wall…has a hard shot…is consistent in his effort level. Lacks quickness and agility…not overly creative offensively…shot accuracy needs work…does not handle the puck well…lacks vision…will need to add more strength if he is to continue to. (May 2009)
