Scouting Report
A Swiss army knife on skates, he has the offensive capabilities and defensive chops to play anywhere in the lineup, in any situation, even after turning 30. The No. 9 overall pick in the 2008 NHL Draft is a reliable mid-level scorer who can be the defensive conscience of a scoring line or an offensive presence on a checking-oriented trio. Does not do anything brilliantly but does a lot of things competently. Is a far better passer than shooter.
Long Range Potential: Versatile forward.
