I liked him on the Kings, he wears his heart on his sleeve and is evidently a very well-liked person in the locker room. He has better hands and scoring ability than most bottom 6 pests and scrappers, but he isn't a heavyweight and will get his clocked cleaned if he squares up against one, but will stand up for teammates and have their backs. Biggest draw backs is he can go cold and his reputation is extremely poor with officiating - he would routinely get called for penalties which sure many were deserved but quite often there would be no reason for it or it would be pretty borderline; however, he would obviously never get a pass or benefit of the doubt and would be sent to the box quite routinely.
