Scouting Report

Assets:	Uses his massive frame to be an intimidating presence on the ice. Has the ability to play more minutes than the average enforcer, especially at lower levels.
Flaws:	Is not talented enough to see top-six forward minutes as a power forward, so he must improve his defensive-zone coverage in order to become an NHL regular.
Career Potential:	Enforcer with a little upside.
