Captain of the Blues.
Competitive center who has brings a physical element, competes in the hard areas to extend plays, and provides better than secondary scoring.
On the PP he sets up on the weak-side flank and opens up to one time pucks or direct the play to the middle bumper / crease area. Matches up against top end opponents on the road and at home. Bulk of his ice time comes at ES and PP#1 - some PK at times.
Pace remains sound. Defensive detail has ranged at times but not due to lack of compete.
Average TOI hovers around 17:00 per game. Wins 50% of his draws.
