Much more stocky than Bournival.
Slightly thicker, slightly worse skater (but perhaps a bit better in the balance/edges department), but otherwise across the board pretty generic, like Bournival.

This guy has all that encompasses a "Marc Bergevin type player". He's a leader, he plays with an edge, he has a ton of character. I think he's going to be another late round steal for us.
Long term projection IMO possibly even a 2nd line forward.
Short term, he'll likely do decent in Hamilton. He's another guy who will likely be able to contribute to our bottom six in the next couple years. Don't be fooled by his draft rank, he has the drive to get to the NHL.
He can but he isn't a fighter.
Mike Keane type?
He wasn't supposed to be able to put up those numbers when we drafted him.
Hmm... that's an interesting and not terrible comparison, at first thought.
I wouldn't say he's been under the radar.
That's cause you're not a HF Partner and you don't have an article to feature here.
Don't like the Bournival comparison, he's no where near as quick but plays a more physical game as he seems to enjoy getting his nose dirty but I'd like to see him work on his skating and foot speed.
