A rare mix of high-end talent and agitation, he has good offensive instincts, flair, creativity and the ability to either finish plays or set up teammates. He can also be used in a shutdown role defensively, and he is more than willing to get into an opponent's face. His biggest problems have come when he goes over the line; he has been suspended multiple times in his NHL career.

Long Range Potential: Skilled point-producing center and massive agitator.
