Scouting Report
Strengths: One of the top fighters in the NHL. Puck
possession along the boards is superb. Is hard to remove from the front of
the opponents net.
|
Weaknesses: Poor skating and mobility have hindered
his ability to bodycheck and be in position. Despite his toughness, he
doesn't tend to goad players into fighting. For his role, he might be too
nice about it.
|
Projected Role: Enforcer, 4th line
