Scouting Report:
Mike is a big forward who uses his size to clear up space for his line mates to create offence. He knows when he needs to use his physical play to make checks and when it would only dislocate him. However, he could use his size a bit more to screen goalies and cause trouble in front of the net. He definitely needs to improve his poor puckhandling skills. In addition, he is not receiving passes very well and mishandles pucks easily. His skating is average, not explosive, but due to his size it is not an easy task to knock him off the puck. Mike should also work on his shooting skills and could use his long reach more often to interrupt plays in his own zone.

NHL Potential: None! His puckhandling and passing skills are not good enough

Style compares to: Dustin Penner
