he's just really not all that talented.
hard worker and has some smarts, but mediocre skater, average hands, mediocre defensively and small on an already small top 6.
being the least talented out of that group doesn't help either.
mact was cornered this summer with no other options when he signed him.

I think you give him the right linemates and he could be a pereniall 60 point guy, but I think that ship has sorta sailed here. I don't mean the points, just the right mixture of players.
the wingers he has are the ones that makes sense to keep.

I cross my fingers everyday that mact deals him before the ntc kicks in or we're stuck with him. this mixture of forwards is just too small and cant get it done

He's improved his skating, but it's still really holding him back. He's got no breakaway speed.

Also, he needs to get stronger, like way stronger. He's thrown off the puck to the ice once a game. At the very least he needs to become more of a pest so that he takes the body check and the other guy gets his elbow
