Scouting Report
Was an industrious player with good instincts and versatility. Also had scoring ability at lower levels. Could play all three forward positions and kill penalties, which added value at the National Hockey League level. Was a little undersized for a forward. Had trouble producing points on a consistent basis in the NHL. He occasionally took bad penalties. Injuries were also a factor.
Long Range Potential: Versatile depth forward.
