Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Big body. Rangy. Long reach is an asset extending plays and corralling pucks along the boards and out front the net.
Difficult to defend due to his length. Not physical. Excellent in the face-off dot - wins around 58% of his draws. Pace has always been average. Not a threat off the rush. Leans shooter more than playmaker. Compete also ranges at times. Overall TOI averages around 15:00 per game - ES and PP - rarely used on the PK
