I thought he was billed as being super physical pre draft? Or am I thinking of Shady Brady Cleveland....
He is a physical player at this level yes...though it's tough to assess whether that's something that will translate once he reaches the AHL, or if it's something he simply does easily at the junior level where it's quite easy to throw the body around just by being bigger than most players and being a good player.
I dunno, thats just how I see physical play in this day and age where speed/skating are vastly more important and the game is in general alot less physical than it was 20 years ago. Not that it doesn't matter or anything, I just don't think it's something that fully translates from the junior levels in alot of cases.
