Alflives Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 He’s listed as a centre, but imo he doesn’t play centre with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 64 PIMs in 221 NHL games. Sounds like he plays a pretty clean, safe game ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly was brought in to be the 3C so that they can keep the Boeser - Petersson - Miller line in tact. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Makaramel MacKhiato Posted July 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) I really like the pickup. Feel bad for Seattle though... they're losing players they'd likely have selected left, right, and center. Vegas taken advantage of their exemption and trading to get better players than anyone that's going to be available to Seattle Edited July 17, 2021 by Top Sven Baercheese 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -AJ- Posted July 17, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2021 My assessment I posted in the trade thread: Looks like a solid 3rd line centre. I expect Beags to be the 4th line guy and Sutter to 100% be gone now (if there was any doubt). Some info a cursory look tells me: - Not very good at face-offs - Relatively defensive usage last year - Very strong CORSI numbers given his usage - Fairly steady offensive production around 0.30 points-per-game, or 25 points in a full season - Just turned 26 years old - Pending RFA in need of a new contract - Not hugely aggressive, but does hit with his 6'2" 200 lb frame - Very responsible on the penalty front (9 minors taken, 15 drawn (15 drawn is 1st among Stars forwards) - Led Dallas forwards in blocked shots last year (19th in the NHL) - Led Dallas forwards in takeaways last year (57th in NHL) - 3rd (almost tied for 2nd) among Stars forwards in PK minutes last year All in all, it depends a bit on his contract, but this looks like a steal for a 3rd IMO. Not very much offensive potential and needs to work on face-offs to become a great 3rd line centre, but other than that, he's already a fantastic defensive forward. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) On a cheap deal he is the type of player who we should be replacing expensive older veterans for. He should really be a $2 million player considering values around the league for lower end guys. Bjugstad went for under a million to be a 3C.

Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted July 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2021 Winnipeg probably wanted a 2nd plus a prospect for Appleton. The cost was too high IMO. A 3rd round pick for a 26 year old PK specialist who can be your top defensive player I believe is good value. Benning did good. It wasn't a home run but it's one piece of the puzzle. I expect more pieces to follow. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I like Jason Dickson. 6'2 200 lbs, C - 16:00 TOI, 46% faceoff, good PK guy, just turned 26....fine with 3rd round draft pick in deal.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
