Has 8 goals and 13 points mostly playing as a 3rd/4th liner. 

 

Wonder if there would be interest in him as a depth player. Late round pick for him would be nice.

I think his game has got stronger thru the season. He works cheap. I would keep him unless a 3rd rdr offer. I doubt any offer is coming.

11 goals, 17 points in 56 games as a 4th liner is pretty impressive. I know he's small and doesn't bring much PK/physicality but you have to admit he does seem to rack up offence a lot.

 

Shame we need an upgrade at 3C to push Joshua and Aman down to our 4th line but he deserves a chance somewhere.

He's my pick for the most underrated this year. Never expected him to actually succeed at the NHL level.

Considering he's playing very limited minutes, he's been alright given the situation he's in. He's getting an NHL salary. I'd like to see him around next season too.

These are truly excellent numbers, given his limited playing time. He made the most of it for sure. 

 

We need lower-cap guys in our bottom lines who can produce, and I feel he seems to be a solid fit. Although I agree he doesn't have ideal size and isn't a big physical presence, he doesn't seem to shy away from getting deep in the play, and conducts himself with quite a bit of energy and tenacity.

I think Dries did a really admirable job this season as a square peg in a round whole. Unfortunately he falls into the category that a number of smaller players have previously. He's not good enough defensively or big enough to be match-up or checking line bottom 6er, but also not good enough offensively for the top 6.

 

I definitely wouldn't mind having him around as the 13th forward due to his admirable work ethic but I really hope we can upgrade at 3C this offseason.
