Hopefully, he will be familiar with his teammates tendencies now and become more productive after completing a training camp and pre-season. He definitely has the wheels, in short bursts, top 90% according to NHL advanced metrics. His top speed is in top 60% too. Impressive for a 33 yr old skater! He’s a big dude and effective in all 3 zones. His O skill is best off the rush. He should fit well w/ team style and Bednar’s strategy.

Now it is just fill out the depth players.
