Is as talented offensively as any center in the NHL. He is capable of being an electric playmaker, and has the shot to finish off chances on his own. Can disappear for stretches, but is becoming more consistent as he moves through the prime of his career. Is well above average in shootouts. Has had some off-ice incidents that have led to suspensions. When used as a penalty killer, he can be dangerous. | |
Long Range Potential: | Outstanding playmaking center. |
