Scouting Report
The talented forward made up for a lack of size with his speed, skill and smarts. Was more than willing to go to the front of the net, despite his small stature, and knew where to go to get open for scoring opportunities. Was also an excellent penalty killer and a threat to score when his team was shorthanded. Injuries were (predictably) an issue for him throughout his NHL career but he managed to carve out a solid career.
Long Range Potential: Smallish but solid scoring winger (when healthy).
