Scouting Report
Had great straight-ahead skating ability and work ethic. Hit opponents with authority. Played a gritty, in-your-face style and owned solid scoring instincts. Led by example on the ice. Over time, his body broke down due to the punishment that came with playing the power forward role. As a result, his production dried up rapidly towards the end of his career.
Long Range Potential: Quality power forward.
