Scouting Report
Had exceptional vision and creativity on the ice. His offensive instincts were off the charts. Owned great patience with the puck, as well as soft hands. Played with attitude and often got under opponents' skin. Was never great in the defensive zone. Lacked bulk and was undersized by NHL standards. Was not much of a goal-scorer and passed up quality shots too often. Had off-ice problems that eventually ended his playing career.
Long Range Potential: Savvy playmaker with issues.
