Big man with a big frame massive reach and interesting skill set. Has surprising balance with a nice knee bend that lowers him and allows him to move adeptly on his skates. Is a good passer who reads the ice and passes the puck well. He uses his wingspan to move attackers toward the outside wall, but can in his back pedal, backward cross-over to adjust to the faster forwards. Good at using his stick to lift the opponents, and can quickly get passes up-ice. Handles the puck well in tight, and has a good feel for the offensive zone, willing to step down for rebounds and set-ups. lots to like.
