Has good size and a willingness to use it… plays a power north/south game…battles along the wall and infront of the opposition net…is dangerous in close and around the hash marks in…is a threat to make the hit…plays with determination…has decent hands. Lacks the skating needed to be effective in a three-zone game…does not have much offensive creativity…needs to work on improving his foot speed first and foremost…will be more of a complimentary player than a frontliner if he makes it to the NHL.
