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.

Massive forward who is deployed in a variety of roles for Colorado.
Strong skater for his stature. Has a gear in open ice. Up to speed he's very difficult to 'front' and defend. Good stick. Net front presence on the PP. Sets screens around the crease. Looks for tips and rebounds. Aware of his surroundings ... has the spatial awareness to find 'quiet ice'
Defensively reliable as well. The Avs have no issues using him in key defensive zone situations, including the PK.
Overall - averages north of 19:00 TOI - all situations - power forward - not punishing physically but very hard to defend ... and difficult to escape when he's bumping up against in d-zone coverage.
