Geno is a great depth signing at that price. Wish the Canucks offered the same. Guy can play anywhere in the lineup and contribute in many diff roles. Physical with some offensive abilities but not enough to be a permanent top-6 player. Proved last year he can adapt to being a physical 4th liner if needed.

Anywhere in the lineup? Please!

Guy can play anywhere in the lineup just signed a league min deal in September? I dunno man. Sounds kinda meh to me.

I meant more like he can fill in as needed and do a fine job anywhere in the line-up - that's why I said he's not good enough to be a top-6 fixture.

 

When Schifele and Wheeler were injured and he got top-6 time 5on5 he had 8 points in 22 games, without PP time and playing well below 15 mins a game. When they came back he was a 4th line player and had to adapt - finishing the year with 104 hits in 72 games with decent possession stats.

 

Lots of players getting priced out - like Dalton Heinen who took a huge discount, and Zack Aston-Reese, Tyler Motte who remain unsigned.

 

I don't think it's a 'major' signing but I think he's very good depth. With the Canucks having three Russians and Klimo who seem to really enjoy having each other in the locker room, another mid-20s, big-framed body who can fill-in for injury much better than someone like Petan or Bailey last year, I would've been happy to see him here on a 1-year league min contract for sure.
