Blesses with incredible size…has nice strength and the ability to hold off a defender and drive the net at the same time…will go to the net and get off a heavy shot…sees the ice well and can deliver tape-to-tape passes…has the abilities to handle the puck in traffic. Consistently lacks effort and is far too passive for a prospect of his size and strength…gives up when the push-back for opponents comes and has a tendency to disappear for long stretches…lacks any type of intensity on defense and will often let his mark skate right by…his biggest problem though looks to be his heavy feet and lack of speed.
