Scouting Report
Played with hockey smarts, could get under opponents' skin and displayed both solid defensive instincts and sound face-off skills. Was an excellent role player. Lacked offensive acumen to be a constant threat in the NHL. Sticked his nose in everyone's business, but was not big enough to play an overly physical game.
Long Range Potential: Solid, agitating defensive center.
