Scouting Report
A late-blooming, offensive-minded center in college hockey, he has morphed into a depth role in the NHL after making his debut at age 25. He has some offensive skills and can take advantage of scoring opportunities, though he starts most of his shifts in the defensive zone. Is also adequate on face-offs and a very effective penalty killer.
Long Range Potential: Experienced depth center.
