His closest comparable is Marchand in my opinion. He isn't a pure skill player (like those listed above) and has tons of bite to his game. His shot is heavy and he can score from a distance but most of his goals are scored in close. He is a very heavy player for his size and hits to hurt but is also like Coronato in the opportunistic scorer ideology. If the opposition makes a mistake while he is on the ice, they are going to pay for it.
Size aside, he has everything you would want in a player.
