A big body who uses his size well and plays a strong power winger game. Hard to contain once he gets going. Impossible to control in front of the net and tough, hard worker along the boards. Willing to stand in front of the goalie looking to deflect point shots and reduce visibility. Can ll the net using a nice shot with quick release and the ability to find the areas on ice where he will get an offensive chance. Has good hockey sense and uses high energy to create momentum shifts in a game with a hard hitting shift. Injury concerns, skating deficiencies and a lack of high end skill limit his upside at the next level. (May 2010)
