Scouting Report
Saw the ice well and had a knack for racking up impressive points totals. Could make his teammates around him better. Had a never-say-quit mentality and an impeccable work ethic. At 5'9", 184 pounds, he wore down over the course of a long season because he played a somewhat physical style (relatively speaking). He also had a tendency to lose battles in the corners due to his overall lack of bulk. Injuries were also an issue for him. Finished his career in Europe after over a decade in the NHL.
Long Range Potential: Diminutive but solid scoring center.
