Had good size, which he liked to utilize early and often throughout a game. Played an agitating, in-your-face game. Could score in streaks. Was an asset from in close to the opposing goal, especially on the power play at the National Hockey League level. Was not a natural offensive winger and did not own enough high-end skills to make an scoring impact. Took a few too many bad penalties. Had trouble meeting expectations after signing a big free-agent contract. A back injury prematurely ended his career.

Long Range Potential: Good, agitating winger, when healthy.
