Really informative post, thanks a lot Surfer. I really like your takes, crazy he would be second behind Schenn in hits. Not that we need him to completely replace that element, but we do want people to finish checks. My buddy is a wings fan and he says he turns it over a lot, but that can be coached out hopefully. His age is good, seems to be injured a bit if my memory can recall correctly, didn’t he miss a decent chunk last year?
I’ll reserve judgment until I see more of him, but I think you hit the nail right one the head that I think this hurts our tank a bit. But oh well, better to make sure you get the player you want
