Scouting Report
Could shoot the puck at will and skated very well for a big man. Had excellent goal-scoring ability and could get hot for long periods of time. Had the total package for a hockey player. Was not a consistent performer in any area of the game. Had trouble keeping his emotions in check. Had concussion issues that unfortunately ended his career prematurely.
Long Range Potential: Big, skilled but fragile scorer, if healthy.
