A big guy who is just starting to utilize his skill and size. Came out of nowhere late in the season after getting off to a mediocre start. Bulls his way to the net and through defenses with the puck despite having limited strength. Has good on-ice vision and makes strong passes especially when given time and space. Protects the puck well and works the boards hard. Has a good compete level and frame to grow into but severely lacks the strength to play his game at the next level. Looks lost in the defensive zone. Has a good shot but that will also improve with added strength. (May 2010)
