He's always leaned shooter / goal scorer more than play driver / distributor off the rush.
His length can be an asset along the wall and around the crease when he's corralling pucks.
Hard to defend when fully engaged. Good skater. Credited with 90 shots on goal. (+5) defensively. Generally deployed in a third line role at even strength before slotting into one of the PP units.
