Hey 'Canes fans, what's the deal with Westgarth? Can he do anything other than punch faces?

He hasnt played much. I know JR wanted more out of him and called him out to come into the season in better shape. That didnt happen and he couldn't get on the ice.
He is a great teammate and a top tier heavy weight enforcer. He just doesn't get tested much.
He is a step or 3 slow but will finish every check he is in a position to deliver just doesn't get a ton of opportunities since he isnt in the right place to lay one on.
He has shown a decent grinding game and has shown flashes of being more than just a goon. There was a 2 game stretch this year where he was one of our better forwards.. that was also playing 4th line limited minutes.
He is what he is. dont expect much.
One of the nicest and most intelligent people in the game.
