Brad in action vs. Nashville.
Scouting Report (from TSN):
Assets: Uses his size and strength effectively.  Has very good scoring instincts and a nose for the front of the net.  Loves to mix it up and can even drop the gloves if he feels the need to do so.
Flaws: Needs to be more creative on offense.  Must avoid extensive time in the penalty box.
Career potential: Is following a path similar to that of Brendan Shanahan at the same age.  While he may not be as gifted in the goal-scoring department as Shanahan, he could wind up as a reasonable facsimile to the Red Wings star.
