Scouting Report
Is working to get his career back on track after being derailed by injuries, concussions and illness, which is not easy for a player on the back side of 30. The veteran right-winger is an excellent teammate and a good shooter who can still contribute offensively in the right circumstances. Is only average defensively and his durability questions remain.
Long Range Potential: Useful winger and veteran presence (when healthy).
