Just like Happy Hudler.

I’m pretty sure Hudler was barely used on the power play. I’ll eat my words if I’m wrong, I’m too lazy to look here.

Just like Happy Hudler.

As long as he stays away from drugs like Hudler got into there that's a great thing. At one point in his career Hudler was very dominant including a 76 pt season.

For poeple that have seen him, how good is this guy and what is his potential? He put up great numbers in the NCAA and NHL so far.

I think he’ll never be more than a 40-50 point player. He’ll be a solid 3rd line play making winger who has to potential to play on the second line. He’s a very shifty/crafty player who sees the game very well. I was impressed with him when he joined the wings at the end of last season. Fun player to watch.

Watched him before college, watched him a lot his last year in college. He knows what he is: strong playmaker with sense and skill to execute. Is his ceiling top six? I think that is the question. I think he's a nice middle six producer if he continues on his current trajectory.

He had 28 PPP in 09-10, but that was his only season he scored 20+ in his career,
