For a center, he is not much of a playmaker. Will shoot every time from impossible angles when a pass would be a better option. Not good on face offs. Takes bad penalties in the offensive zone. Too many give aways. Tries to beat 2-3 defenders rather than using his line mates. Gives up on plays when he thinks he’s been fouled. Not good defensively. Minus 18 is worst amongst forwards.

I don’t question his work ethic and offensive skills. Far too selfish though.
