He is a very average player overall. He has size, but he doesn't really have an edge to his game, doesn't play with much physicality and is injury prone. He is a defensive minded forward but even at the his skill set isn't noteworthy. Overall there is not much upside in any aspect of his game.
Aside from that, after being drafted, he really didn't do anything to warrant a contract. He didn't really make any substantial improvements to his game. He is just a big defensive forward who has a small chance of becoming a 4th liner. The AHL and ECHL are filled with players like this so it seems like a bit of a waste to have given him an ELC.
i get that he's kind of average right now. but i don't get why he should be written off just yet. he has barely been coached by richardson at all yet. i'm just curious to see how he does.
