A bit of a throwback. Plays the game with a mix of tenacity, skill and physicality.
Gets under the skin of opponents. A distraction. Never goes away. Always comes back for more. Competes in all over the ice. Battles along the wall. Goes to the crease.
Produces high end offense. Creative in tight quarters.
Leads by example. Ultimate team guy.
There are nights he crosses the line and can be a bit 'over the top' with his edginess, but there is not denying his value to team results overall. Averages over 19:00 TOI - ES and PP - rarely PK
