MOVEMENTS & INJURIES
22-Jul-04 Re-signed as an unrestricted free agent by the Detroit Red Wings to a one-year contract with a player option for the 2005-06 season.
ASSETS: Is one of the most lethal scorers in the game from the slot area. Loves to instigate trouble for the opposition. Plays a sound two-way game and is very durable.
FLAWS: Is not as intimidating as he was in the early 90s, at least in terms of physical presence. Tends to score in streaks these days and can go long stretches without lighting the lamp.
