Decent?

He had one of the best releases of all time and will go down as one of the best pure goal scorers of his generation. He had the ability to find open ice and know where there was an opening in the net without even having to look at it. Watching him just pound pucks in the net was a pleasure.

As a person, I don't know him. Obviously he comes across as a bit of a jerk in certain interviews. From people I know who have had accounts with him, they say he is typically good to his fans.

Also, it is important to note, that much like Gretzky, Hull is a talented player who really supports the role of an enforcer and believes in tough hockey.
