Scouting Report
The scoring touch he exhibited for much of his career largely disappeared in his late 30s, partly due to some serious injuries, but his willingness to work hard and play with grit was always there. He was defensively responsible and grew into an adequate penalty killer over time. A 10-time 20-goal scorer in the NHL, he was always willing to sacrifice his body in front of the net (especially on the power play). Was also a great leader on and off the ice.
Long Range Potential: Talented, hard-working scoring winger and leader.
