Scouting Report
Had size, speed and solid offensive ability. Played well in clutch situations and displayed a very mature attitude. Was a strong north-south skater. Was capable of playing either wing position (as well as center, if needed). Lacked consistency in a major way at the highest level, which hurt his production. Did not always play with enough urgency. Was not overly physical, despite his solid frame. Injuries (and a deterioration of his skills) forced him to retire from the NHL prematurely.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, inconsistent scoring forward.
