Scouting Report
Strengths: Hulking size and strength. Will stick up
for his teammates and drop the gloves if need be. Can lay out anyone with a
punishing body check.
|
Weaknesses: Hasn't quite yet learned when to go for
the big hit. Needs to recover his confidence after shattering it completely
with an unfortunate goal on his own net. Mobility and consistency an issue.
