stay-at-home for sure. i am hesitant to say physical as he isn't going to run over everyone on the ice, but he is definitely above average in that area.
he is a smart player who knows where to be. he battles well along the wall and in front of the net. he has gotten on the score sheet a lot more this year which i think helped him get the all-star nod.
he's the guy you want out there in the last minute when trying to protect a 1 goal lead. great poise and maturity on the ice. great on the PK.
and i know +/- can be an overrated and overused statistic. but both last year and this year he somehow ends up much better than most of the team.
