How would you describe McGinn's style of play? Powerforward is the easiest summation IMO.

The term power forward was originally used to describe players like Cam Neely, Eric Lindros, Keith Tkachuk, Brendan Shanahan... Guys that were as intimidating as they were skilled. Basically enforcers that could pop in 50 goals a year.
Jamie McGinn is not a power forward.
