ASSETS:
Has decent size, reach and puck-moving skills. Is also fairly mobile and pretty solid in his own end. Limits his mistakes. Can log a lot of ice time, if need be, and can play on either side of the ice.
FLAWS:
Does not use the body a lot, which leaves him vulnerable against bigger forwards in the defensive zone. Does not wow you with any one physical or mental trait. Is a somewhat limited talent.
Bottom pairing guy who doesn't nothing really well or good. Not even a replacement for emelin. Big but not physical. Bad trade? Not really considering what we paid, but it's another plug.
