He usually needs a loose puck from the hash marks in to get his goals. In my opinion, he needs to use his strength to put pressure on the opposing D by taking the puck to the net. He is a tank and should be watching Jamie Benn on how to effectively use that strength to create space and time to fire that shot. But then he has to hit the net.
