A pint sized pivot with incredible vision and playmaking abilities. Skates well although his top speed is only average. Is quick, shifty and elusive. Is smart and anticipates defenders and what they will do next which allows him to create offensive chances for him and his linemates. Is a fiery competitor and does not lack spark as he plays with loads of heart and much larger than his size would dictate. Has a good, quick shot that allows him to be a threat to not only make plays but to also finish them off. Produced some incredible statistics this season but questions of if he can produce on his own. Skill is unquestionable but severe lack of size makes NHL talent evaluators doubt his game transitions well to a faster and tougher league. (May 2010)
