0.64 ppg in his rookie season in the AHL (28 games)
0.66 ppg in his second season in the AHL (39 games)

Vancouver will have big cap problems next year, a ton of roster spots to fill due to pending UFAs and will need a cheaper bottom six in general as they need to give big raises to EP and Hronek.

They’ll need this guy in that mix since he's a cheap contract.
