Scouting Report
The big, strong forward is a defense-first player, whether he plays center or on the wing. His career scoring totals do not match his draft pedigree (No. 21 overall in 2010), but he can be effective in a shutdown role and when his team is shorthanded. He is a professional on and off the ice, and has adapted to his role as a depth player.
Long Range Potential: Big checking forward and penalty killer.
