Tufte is a former first-round pick of the Dallas Stars. He's proven he can score at the AHL level but his NHL impact has been minimal so far in his career.
Big body. Long reach. Ability to extend plays down low in the offensive zone. Can be a net front distraction in the offensive zone. Good skater for his stature.
Not overly physical. Decent spatial awareness in the defensive zone. On the cusp of either full time depth NHL duty or 'first call up' role.
When he does get in games he averages just over 11:00 TOI. Deployed at ES and some PP.
