I'm not talking about his scoring and I was on board with his play last season. In his increased role this season he's shown even more. It's ridiculous that people wanted him gone.
He's on a very affordable contract, is as steady as they come defensively and has added offensive skill to his game as well since coming here.
He also looked decent offensively last season. He looks to join the rush and is skating the puck out of the zone more often these days. It's a completely different system than he was playing in in Nashville and one he has adapted to well.
Yup - I've been singing the praises of this deal since it happened. Great contract, steady player, and a huge improvement over what Del Zotto, at the time, was bringing.
