People actually think that being decent in the shootout makes you valuable in the NHL. Hilarious.
Why don't NHL GMs scout players off of Pavel Barber youtube dangles?
Anyway, fine with either here. Can see arguments for both. Going with the guy that might improve in his 2nd NHL season.
If you can be a reliable fourth liner and be effective in the shootout, then it's very valuable. Especially on a team like ours that has shown over the last few years to have little talent in the shootout.
It's not just the shootout but also special teams he noted. He can fill in as the distributor on the PP if needed and do an above-average job and he can also kill penalties.
