A skinny puck distributing machine. Has some defensive upside but plays too inconsistent in his own zone. Skates fine and has nice pivots and overall mobility. Can make some pretty impressive stretch passes. Needs to add strength and round out his game as rarely the same player night after night. Struggles with mental consistency from game to game. Makes a lot of errors with the puck and in his own zone which make you question his smarts. Shows ashes of being a strong power play point man. Needs to consistently be stronger on the opposition in his own zone. (May 2010)
