Scouting Report
Had a great combination of quickness and straightaway speed, combined with a dose of skill. Was always a breakaway threat because of his wheels, which also made him a dangerous penalty killer. A lack of size (5'9") was always a drawback in his case, and staying on the ice and off the injured list was a problem. Displayed a knack for scoring 20-plus goals when healthy for a full season. His work ethic and character were always beyond reproach.
Long Range Potential: Speedy, industrious two-way forward (when healthy).
