Veteran forward who continues to produce offense and is one of the top face-off forwards in the entire NHL
Used in all situations. Takes charge. Sets plays in all three zones. More of a distributor than a shooter. Picks his spots with his pace off the rush. On occasion he shows an extra gear and deception. Element is offense but the fact he wins as many face-offs as he does gives his team a chance to start with the puck more often than not.
