Matt is very heady with or without the puck. Has the versatility to line up at all three forward positions. Displays plenty of offensive upside.He has started to fill out his 6'1 frame adding alot of muscle over the 05-06 season. This has made him a lot strongeron the puck.He carrys the puck into the opposition zone like another #14 use too.
His behind the net play is 100% improved from last season, and while he used to get knocked off the puck easily last year he is now a force along the boards and has setup a lot of chances and goals from there. When he's behind the net with the puck, you just feel comfortable that he'll find his wingers for a scoring opportunity.
