Player Discussion Mark Letestu

[Spawn]

Letestu might be the best 4th line center in the NHL.

IMO he is a big step up from Boyd Gordon.

With the exception of faceoffs he absolutely is. A very smart player out there. I think it might be time to shuffle him off the first PP unit, but he excels in his role otherwise.

To his credit his FO% is consistently above 50% year to year...considering all of the other elements of his game are so much better than Gordon IMO Letestu is a major improvement as a player.

Regarding the PP....nobody on the team on times a puck better then Letestu. Thats not saying much but he does have value on the PP other than the faceoff.

If you're to grade a player's performance relative to what you expected he'd bring, I give Leststu an A+

glad he's signed for another year.
