he played pretty well at Penn State this year as a junior. 14G 15A in 39 games. bulked up from his draft year (now about 225 lbs according to his profile)

He's developed well at PSU.
I know he was their go to checking center and they used him to screen on the PP.
Basically tops out as a Brian Boyle type if everything goes well.

His size is what stands out the most when I watch him and he doesn’t take any shit from anyone. He can hit when he wants. His skating is average and he doesn’t control the play very often. Has soft hands, though so that’s promising.

I think his ceiling is 4th line checking and 2nd pp as a net front. If his skating improves and he scores more often, who knows.

He's essentially a high-res Super Mutant sprite from Fallout.
