Veteran goal scorer who is nearing the end of his career.
Big body. Not physical. In the way more than punishing. Uses long reach to his advantage along the boards and around the net in the offensive zone.
A 4F at even strength more than a 3F - but remains an impact player on the PP.
Pace is barely adequate for the speed of today's NHL game. Not a transition threat.
Defensive detail ranges depending on how long he is tasked with small areas defending in his zone / quickness becomes a factor defending in space.
