Possessed tremendous reach, excellent vision and creativity, as well as a deadly shot. Skated well for his size (6' 4"). Had good hand/eye coordination and a winning pedigree. Was somewhat physical and a willing combatant. Could go into prolonged scoring funks, especially late in his career. Since he occasionally dropped the gloves, he penalized his team more because was needed more on the ice. His overall game fell off a cliff late in his career. | |
Long Range Potential: | Big, wiry and excellent scoring center. |
