Scouting Report
Was skilled and polished. Rarely made mistakes with the puck and was also a sound positional forward. Excelled in shootouts and had enough versatility to play all three forward positions at the National Hockey League level (though he was a better winger than center). Was not very big or strong, so he could be intimidated by bigger defensemen. Was considered a bit "soft" by NHL standards but made up for it with his hockey sense. Lacked consistency in the offensive zone.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, skilled forward.
