Scouting Report

Assets:	Is a solid defensive winger with NHL size and some versatility in his game. Has a big shot when he decides to use it. Kills penalties well and can provide energy. Is also capable of playing on either side of center.
Flaws:	Doesn't have much of an offensive arsenal against the world's best players, so he's limited to bottom-six forward duties at the highest level. Also, he could stand to gain even more strength for the North American game.
Career Potential:	Versatile defensive forward.
