NHL Central Scouting:

Big, hard-working power forward who is most effective playing a gritty, determined style – very strong skater with decent speed, quickness and agility; has the ability to beat the defender to the outside – very effective and aggressive when on the forecheck – strong when battling for pucks along the boards or for space in front of the opposition net – good puck handling and movement in traffic with accurate passes and shots – very responsible two-way game and solid in all three zones.
