Scouting Report
Was an incredibly fast skater and a great checker. Possessed good defensive instincts. Produced offense in chunks. Could play either wing position effectively in the NHL, though he was slightly better on his natural (right) side. Had a tendency to pass up too many quality shots in order to distribute the puck. Lacked a bit of strength, which was sometimes an issue because bigger defenders had a tendency to target him in the corners. He could play the pest role fairly well.
Long Range Potential: Speedy, two-way energy winger.
