Scouting Report
Was a big presence up the middle and could be a decent face-off man, though he could also play wing. When motivated, he played a complete game and his leadership skills were on display. For the most part, he underachieved as a point producer in the National Hockey League. Also, his overall game lacked consistency in the later stages of his career. Was a bit too streaky on offense.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent but talented and versatile forward.
