He was a stud at Michigan and has put together reasonable AHL numbers. I think he has potential to be a 35-40pt energy guy. He was a nice surprise last year.

He was also creating a ton of chances from his tenacious forechecking. If we end up with more skill down the lineup like Leivo on his line, who knows they might click and produce at a decent clip.

Fanuck Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 26th overall in total hits for the entire league last season while only averaging about 13min/night TOI - I'd say this is a very 'team value' contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding. I wonder if they offered him more on a multi-year contract and he said no thanks, I'll work for under a million for this year to show what I am really worth, then we can talk seriously.

It makes sense for the Canucks to also do another year to see if he can remain consistent and maybe not burn out in parts of the season. Also to see if he didn't just go all out that one year for a pay out. If he can put up another season like he did, then he will have earned a longer deal. It just makes sense on both sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you never know with a smaller guy who plays like that, how much their body can take. Remember, was his name Kenins, the Latvian Locomotive? Looked like a Motte with better hands, but apparently burned out awfully fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
