a very likable player, just a bit inconsistent, looks great one game and then disappears, Babs used to say he needs to learn how to play every night.
Hahah, well, at least he plays _some_ nights unlike some of the guys on our roster right now.
Been following him for awhile, I still remember that hot streak with Kadri.
I think he is a top-6 winger (especially on this team) that has a good shot, a motor, and will be hungry for this opportunity. I also think he could play well with Bo (see Kadri). Another intriguing line would be Goldy-EP-Leivo.
I also like that he is big and because of said motor wins board battles. We tend to have a lot of smallish forwards on this team, so he definitely brings a dimension only Jakey brings. He might also be a good example for Jakey since he has already experienced some tough breaks and is instantly the player most similar to him on the roster. I think Jakey looks around and sees too many perimeter guys (which is ok for the skilled ones) and thinks he can get away with that too. He can't.
