Scouting Report

Assets:	Is a solid defensive forward with face-off ability and shutdown tendencies. Can produce points and be used with the game on the line at lower levels. Can also play all three forward positions.
Flaws:	Doesn't have enough offensive acumen to play a top-six forward role at the NHL level. Also lacks ideal NHL size, so injuries can be a factor here. Needs to do more when given the opportunity.
Career Potential:	Defensive depth forward.
