Has a big frame and skates well for his size. Plays a safe defensive first game and uses his size, speed and strength to contain attackers. Moves well with nice lateral agility. Plays with a health dose of physical play but will not go out of his way or pull himself out of position to do so. Shows some offensive abilities and utilizes the situations he is put in with his strong point shot and good offensive awareness. Needs to work on getting his shot on net more consistently and adding strength to his slight frame. Has some good upside in both ends if he reaches his full potential. (May 2010)
