Scouting Report
Knows where to be on the ice and has the wheels to get there. Has excellent hockey sense and good speed (one of his nicknames is "Quicky"). Is very responsible defensively and an excellent penalty killer. However, he is not very big and has never been much of an offensive force at the NHL level, although he is a good defensive conscience on a line with attack-oriented teammates.
Long Range Potential: Solid checking forward and penalty killer.
