Had plenty of speed, mobility and some offensive acumen. Played with confidence when in possession of the puck, as he moved the puck expertly. Was also an asset on the power play. His smallish frame was always an issue in the NHL. Did not always raise his level of play in key situations. At times, he had trouble keeping the game simple in the defensive end. | |
Long Range Potential: | Solid, mobile defenseman. |
