Scouting Report

Assets
  • Makes things happen on the ice and tends to make his teammates better. Never backs down from a challenge, on or off the ice. Has plenty of leadership qualities. Is good on face-offs and still a quality playmaker.
Flaws
  • His fireball style leaves him vulnerable, while his small stature limits his effectiveness against bigger centers. Injuries and illness have wreaked havoc on his NHL career, and slowed down production over time.
Career Potential
  • Aging playmaking center and leader.
