A pure playmaker, he has excellent vision with very good outside speed. He has a reputation as a go-to guy because of his creativity, leadership and feistiness.
A smart player with great instincts who always seems to be in the right position. Is above average on the draw for a winger and has proven to be clutch in key situations.
Makes a great first pass and transitions to offense smoothly. Has a booming shot and strong playmaking abilities making him prime for the powerplay.
Hulking size and strength. Will stick up for his teammates and drop the gloves when necessary. Can lay out anyone with a punishing body check.
A strong defensive forward that can play on the PK; he also has good speed and can chip in offensively from time to time as well.
Uses his size to cover all parts of the net; he knows his role and won’t be a distraction to incumbent Carey Price.
Plays well at both ends of the rink and isn’t afraid to drive the net while being a strong passer.
Has good size and glove hand, doesn’t get beat high all that often. Was once of the top KHL goalies in 2009-10.
Plays a very physical game and is more than willing to step up for his teammates. His offensive game is slowly improving as well.
