Scouting Report
An unselfish and gifted playmaker, he was a strong possession-type puckhandler with good vision and supreme passing skills. Was also a pretty versatile forward at the NHL level. Did not shoot the puck nearly enough, which hurt his overall value. Not very big or fast, he could also be a liability at times because of his lack of physicality. Lacked consistency.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent, creative and versatile playmaker.
