Strengths:

Latendresse has impressive size, and strength to go along with very good offensive skills, work ethic and aggressive play. His physical play can create space and turnovers.

Doesn't always rise to the occasion, playing better when given less responsibility and pressure. Needs to perform with a physical edge more often. Skating and mobility still an issue, though it has improved every season with Montreal.
