Assets: | Like his father, Peter, he owns tremendous playmaking acumen and two-way skills. An excellent passer with good vision, he is especially good in traffic. Solidly built, he usually plays bigger than his 6-0 frame and displays a mature attitude. |
Flaws: | Has the burden of constant comparisons with his father, which can be difficult to deal with. Needs to stay focused and gritty on a consistent basis to be at his best in the NHL. Must become a more reliable producer and better game in, game out. |
Career Potential: | Quality, veteran two-way center. |
