Scouting Report
Possessed terrific vision and passing skills. Also featured great speed with the puck on his stick, a swift, smooth stride, as well as puck-handling ability and agitating qualities. Excelled at carrying the puck up ice on breakouts. His offensive production disappeared with time, especially when dealt to Montreal. Did not play a physical game and lacked the strength to dominate. Did not shoot enough and could at times be a turnover machine.
Long Range Potential: Skilled, speedy and savvy playmaking center.
