Well he is a Slovak. They mainly develop cerebral type players over there.
One thing he does well with this size is protect the puck and use his long reach to tractor beam loose pucks. A good number of his goals are putting away rebounds, which you can never have too much of at the NHL level.
But he's still super raw. Probably will never be a big hitter, but as long as he isn't afraid to go into the corners and battle his frame will be an asset.
