He is a big forward who can skate…plays a solid two-way game and is defensively responsible…plays a strong game along the wall…has a decent shot and reads the play well…is a opportunistic player…his playmaking abilities stand out. Not enough desire or drive in his game… lacks competitiveness…does not like to get his nose dirty…needs to add strength…offensive potential is a huge questions…he is invisible most games unless you really focus on paying attention to him.
