He deserves some time to get in game form but this isn't Tampa Bay, his stats were inflated and that contract will age poorly you just hope it isn't in year 1

Killorn did very good on the third line: Killorn-Rico-Silf. Unfortunately, we had to juggle the lines because the top-6 offenses are stuck on a Vanilla Ice song that's on repeat, "Ice, ice, baby, too cold... too cold."
I'm sorry but he's BAD. He's been noticeably bad. He's very slow and his reads are TERRIBLE. He also can't shoot the puck as well as he did in Tampa. Killer looking like this season's version of Klingberg
Give him time.. He will get it going.. He came in right when the team starting get cold offensively

Killorn had his left pinkie finger taped/splinted to his ring finger. I’d assume whichever finger was broken still hurts, might well be affecting his shooting and passing.

Quack Quack Quack!
Won’t overreact until the new year. New team, new system, injury, etc.
Might be in the minority but i think he's looked fine. He should be playing with Carlsson whenever Leo is in the lineup.
What could go wrong with deciding a players season after 8 games when they missed over a month.
Killorn has been getting chances, I'm not worried. He makes small plays that help the team transition and he's been free in the slot and should have a few goals by now.
Also for a veteran like him, I'm sure he will improve as the season matures.

He’s also a proud vet, that got paid and is in his first year with his new club. He’s been a little quiet as far as showing emotion on the ice ( but admittedly I don’t know if that’s his MO ) he isn’t just going to say f it and not give it his all.

He may be bought out at the end of 2025 at this rate. Dude needs the Rico waiver treatment to wake his ass up
I think it's an overpayment but if we ever get healthy enough to push him down to a middle 6 role I think he'll be good

He's got 8 points in his last 11 or so, he's doing okay.

This guy is way overhated, definitely didn’t have a good game tonight but he’s scoring at a fine rate considering he’s on a new team, was injured to start the season, and our top centers keep coming in and out of the lineup for various reasons
Which is just amazing to me. He looks like ass out there 90% of the time.

The only compliment I will give is that Killorn finds himself in prime scoring spots, which might say something about getting himself into the right place at the right time despite him not converting much.
A freaking refrigerator would pot a few points out there playing with linemates like Killorn has had here
Back to evaluate my original opinion: yup he sucks still. so slow, terrible hands (most of the time), and about 2 seconds too slow with his reads. Should've given him a 2 year deal. This is going to be a WOOF deal in year 3.
