An absolute bull playing in the OHL…great size and strength package that many teams would love to slip into the line-up immediately after drafting him…has a mean edge to his game…skates well…strong on his feet… looks to make the big hit…willing and able when it comes to dropping the gloves…drives the net and is a beast along the boards…very good vision and nice playmaking ability coming off the wall…decent shot…nice puck protection…has decent enough hands to handle the puck…hard working approach…potentially a 20-30 goal scorer with 200+ PIM. While he exploded offensively this season his offensive upside is judged to be rather limited…can get caught taking shifts off…shot is not strong but still effective from in close. (May 2009)
