Scouting Report
The towering power forward helped his draft position with a big offensive showing in his last season of junior hockey, but he has yet to show the same kind of production since turning pro. Has slick hands in front of the net and the strength to muscle shots past goaltenders. His skating could stand to improve to make a bigger impact.
Long Range Potential: Big depth forward.
