One of the best playmaking forwards in the NHL during his prime, his passing skills opened up all kinds of scoring opportunities for his linemates. However, there were times when he would be better off shooting the puck himself instead of trying to find an open teammate. Was usually defensively responsible, creative and a hard worker. Could play either wing position. Unfortunately, concussion issues ended his National Hockey League career prematurely. | |
Long Range Potential: | Outstanding playmaking winger (when healthy). |
