Scouting Report
Has blinding speed and good size. Excels at the forechecking game, as well as penalty-killing situations. Can score goals in bunches and is still plenty versatile. Lacks consistency on offense, and his all-or-nothing style makes him an injury risk. Does not use his size enough to his advantage. Is not much of a playmaker.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, veteran winger in decline.
