Seems like a Dom Simon or potential Jared McCann type guy. Good defensively, intelligent, goes long stretches where his confidence isn't good enough to translate good play into finishing.
Some Pens fans seem mad about not swinging for big FA fish but I don't mind taking a bunch of flyers on Heinen, Simon, ERod types. They cost nothing, probably end up creating much more value than their cap hit, and are at worst decent lower lineup players. And if they aren't? They're paid ~1M so you can just bury them. That lack of commitment keeps the big splash option open too so you can still go that way via trade if you want to down the line. Whereas if we pony up for Saad and he ends up regressing from his 22% shooting and starts looking like Zucker out there we're stuck
