Scouting Report
Had great speed, which he used effectively on the forecheck (and backcheck). Also displayed grit, a defensive conscience and a little offensive ability. Killed penalties and checked skilled forwards very well. Could even get under an opponent's skin. Was never very consistent in the offensive zone. Had a tendency to play out of control on occasion. Lacked discipline on some nights. His all-out hustling style could sometimes lead to injuries.
Long Range Potential: Speedy checking forward with great energy.
