Despite his goal scoring streak dating back to last postseason, I really dont see the offensive upside some others are in this thread. Look at his numbers in the WHL, AHL and his first two regular seasons in the NHL (400+ games) and his last ~30 games (last playoffs and this season) looks more like a blip than a trend. Is his uptick in production due to his blossoming skill, or is it due to Yeo's system and playing mostly with Petro/Parayko? I will take the latter. He just doesnt check off many boxes offensively besides having a pretty good shot. Average in transition, average hands, average offensive instincts, keep it simple passer, etc. Defensively, he is pretty good and adds the enforcer/physical element that can be lacking with our team, but he doesnt drive possession numbers and isnt a PK ace.
His ceiling is a top 4 guy. I wouldnt hesitate for a second to move him for an upgrade on the left side.
