Big strong centre with a strong two-way game, and the ability to play on all lines and the PP and PK. uses his size on the wall and will pay the price to make the play. Initiates contact. Possesses a strong wrist shot. As a centre he may not be the most skillful, but understands the position gets to the puck to the open man. A team drafting him with hope for continued improvement on his skating.
