Scouting Report
Was an extremely hard worker and was also defensively aware. Showed strong leadership qualities, the ability to work the corners of the ice and lay on big hits. Could line up on either side of center. Became incredibly injury-prone in the NHL. Passed up too many shots in order to dish off to linemates. Could have used more bulk to withstand the rigors of the NHL game better. Was not a natural goal-scorer.
Long Range Potential: Agitating, two-way winger, when healthy.
