A two-way character forward who is seen as more of a complimentary offensive contributor. Plays a strong defensively responsible game that incorporates hard work and relentless puck pursuit. Has good hockey sense and knows his positioning well. Has a nice shot with pin point accuracy. Has good hands and can handle the puck in tight. Works hard and competes with high intensity. Has a complete yet plain game. Has a low offensive upside at the next level. Good character who teammates look up to. Needs to improve his skating speed to cover more area defensively. (May 2010)
