He could shoot in the AHL last year, that's for sure.
In his last 3 seasons in the AHL he's had 82 goals in 169 games which is a .49 goals per game.
last year if he had 1 more goal he would have been top 4 in goals in the league and with the least amount of games played out of any players that had as many or more goals then him.
similar to his previous season before that, 1 more goal and he would have been top 6 and would have had the least amount of games played.
the year before that he was tied for 4th in the league, 2 goals back of 2nd in the league.
So he's been a very good goal scorer in the AHL, since every year he's been one of the best in the league. Just can't get the ice time in the NHL as his speed and defensive game are a step or two behind where they need to be.
