Scouting Report
Strengths:
Has a great combination of size and two-way savvy. Displays decent hands and a mean streak. Is solid on face-offs and sound defensively.
Weaknesses:
Has questionable hockey sense, which limits him in the scoring department. Isn't as complete a player as his package suggests.
