He sucks offensively - the definition of underwhelming perimeter player

But he can be a solid 3rd liner in his own zone and he's a terrific pk'er. Has wheels.

Could fetch a 3rd at the deadline.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Can't say I'm surprised, was worried when it was rumored MTL was interested. Doubt he is in the NHL 2 years from now. Injuries have hurt his offensive game.

He was brought in for secondary scoring.

Zero goals

Exactly why the Kings didnt re-sign him.

 

[TFHockey]

He's good on the PK but his offense has dried up completely. He can skate. Maybe an add in a larger deal. Worth a 3rd at the TDL? Sure.

 

[Mats26]

Hope he gets a 3rd so Hagelin can fetch a late 2nd

 

[oXo Cube]

The hands just aren't there.

But he's a good skater and he plays a responsible game so the guy will carve out some sort of career as a poor man's Cogliano.

I agree with your evaluation, but why would a team give up a 3rd for him this year? He's on an expiring contract and has no goals so far this year. I could see him fetching a late round pick and that's about it.

He sucks.

He's an RFA after this season.

 

[Perratrooper]

Andrighetto?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

He’s a very confusing player. The eye test is solid. Skates really well. Good passer. Good instincts. Not caught out of position often. Strong PK option.

Shot that would be hard pressed to break a wet paper bag and I’m pretty near convinced that he can’t raise the puck.

I’d suggest he be dealt for another struggling guy of comparable age like Hudon but considering it’s us we’d probably get a guy with leprosy whose had limbs fall off and they’re just attached with toothpicks instead.

 

[Cup or Bust]

I'm sure having no goals this season will be a great selling point. I expect a line up of teams with offers. To his credit though, he is not a bad player and can kill penalties.

RFA not UFA.

RFA at the end of the season and will be cheap to resign most likely.

Contenders will value a cheap, fast guy that's an excellent pker

 

[McShogun99]

I was so happy when we signed him. Thought he would be a great fit on the third line. Now he looks like an overpayed 4th liner that can't score.

I thought when LA didn't tender him an offer that he became a UFA. Didn't realize he became an RFA again once signed.

 

[ManofSteel55]

He'll bring in a pick of some sort.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Forgot he was even on the team

 

[Habs10Habs]

Looks to me like he'll be the next "Waiver" victim for the Oilers.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Sucks to see such a fall off. I really liked his game as a depth player when he was with the Coyotes, he was up there as far bottom six players go, Jack of all trades type player.
