Has a good skill set and a willing attitude… he skates well and has strength to play a semi-physical game in the offensive zone…he will play in traffic and can carry the puck there…has a decent set of hands and a good shot…he plays defensively responsible and will sacrifice his body by blocking shots or taking a hit…is a decent passer. Limited upside as an offensive player…more of a complimentary player as he lacks creativity with the puck…lacks the hockey sense…does not always give you his best effort each night. (May 2009)
