MacLeish was actually sort of like Messier in terms of his skating, passing & shooting, but, ironically for a Flyer of the time, he didn't have the physical, dirty or nasty streak that most of his teammates had, he was a more purely skill player a la Perrault. He had good footspeed like Messier & like Messier he scored a ton of goals with his slow set-up / quick-release wrist shot - he had tremendous vision. Like Messier, another left wing to center conversion. A lot of clutch goals, too, so he was a pretty fierce competitor. Definitely always looked like the most talented Flyer during their heyday, although Clarke's passing was phenomenal.
