Probably won't be anything more than a bottom 6 scoring forward (if he makes the NHL at all), but for a free guy you could do a lot worse.
I agree but with a cavitate.
I think that he is young, (24) fast, and has excellent hands. This is something that could be huge at the NHL level when playing with better talent (he had 17 goals and 38 points in 48 games last season in the Check ((Sp check keeps changing this but I don't think it's the correct spelling so I am sorry for that I mean no offence)) league).
I think it is one of those classic WAY low risk, potentially high reward signings. A move you make if you're an expansion team and willing to give him a shot to see what he can do. He may not be better then a bottom 6 or Top AHL option, but with the Knights unique situation, it gives them a chance to really look at him in preseason and camps if they want and if they think that his speed and skill can be a big enough bonus to negate his size. If he is one fo those guys just has his head up and just flat out doesn't get hit much. (we have a few of those guys in the league who everyone wants to crush but they just can't seem to line them up ever). Then he could potentially turn into a nice top 6 wing option down the line.
Anyways we are partnered with HFboards and actually have an article that discusses some of his strengths and thoughts on him if you would like to check it out you can
here as well.
Who do you think the Knights go after via trade or moves as we close in on the expansion draft coming up? I am excited to see how Mcphee continues to shape this team and organization I think that he has shown he is going to be able to make some nice moves and honestly I would not be surprised with the new expansion rules if this Vegas Knights team is very competitive season 1 if not a playoff team then one that is not always just an easy out and 2 points for the opposition. Will be fun to see how this team shapes up and what they look like when they start to build the foundation of the organization moving forward. I am really happy with the Center that they picked up earlier on and signed. He is a great playmaker and I think will again do much better with NHL level players even though he is already a proven playmaker at the pro level.
Thanks, looking forward to your thoughts everyone! So stoked for Vegas and who they have in charge right now. Doing some great things and it's looking like it should be an exciting first year in franchise history!
