Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Big body / power forward who is averaging 16:11 TOI - 12:42 ES - 3:27 PK
Average plus skater. Rangy. First three steps are a bit labored, as are his edges / crossovers but his long reach and big frame take up space and establish positioning simply due to stature.
Physical. Providing some secondary offense. On the PK, when properly positioned in shooting and passing lanes, he is difficult to make plays around. Spatial awareness ranges in the defensive zone but he's competing and trying to play with required detail. Somewhere between a 4F and 3F. Work in progress.
