Owns great size and strength, outstanding scoring prowess and a wealth of poise and determination with the puck. Is capable of setting up linemates or light the lamp himself. Has great one-on-one moves. Is equally effective on right or left wing in the NHL. Needs more work on his play without the puck, since he has the talent to dominate in all three zones but can make defensive mistakes at times. Can go into prolonged scoring slumps. Still takes a few shifts off, though he's getting better in that category. | |
Long Range Potential: | Excellent veteran offensive winger. |
