Scouting Report

Assets
  • Used his speed, shiftiness and shot to score a lot of goals in the NHL. Sticked his nose in the corners and used his strong lower body to win many battles. Electrifying, flamboyant player when on a hot streak.
Flaws
  • Not a good passer and could always use more work in the defensive zone. Encountered his share of prolonged scoring slumps.
Career Potential
  • Top six winger.
