Coming out of college, everyone was creaming their pants for this kid. Sabres fans were pissed we didn’t get him. Turns out he’s not very good. Shocking.
I can’t believe he’s under contract for another season. He’s the worst forward in the NHL. He gets caved every night while bringing nothing other than an above average FO%. Coaches need to be educated on how little value that metric has. He’s exactly Vladimir Sobotka.
He’s still averaging 14 minutes of ice time a game. If he needs to be included for salary cap reasons, it would make sense but he’s still getting meaningful minutes for the loafs.
