Signed by Washington in 2008.
ASSETS: Has the size and toughness teams love from the center position. Is willing to drop the gloves and is also strong along the boards. Can also play wing.
FLAWS: Isn't much of a scoring threat, so he's not a candidate to play a top-six forward role. Could use more work on his play in the defensive zone.
