Scouting Report
Still has the shot that made him a 40-goal scorer and member of the NHL's First All-Star Team in the early 2010s, but the remainder of his game continues to recede. He is dangerous when he can get to the front of the net, but his skating is average at best and the rest of his game continues to deteriorate. He lacks the 200-foot game coaches want.
Long Range Potential: Sharpshooting winger in decline.
