I'm gonna be really interested to see how we use him. In 19-20 he had 11G in 25 playoff games. This past playoffs he had 11G in 23 playoff games. This guy can score goals. When you've got Kucherov Stamkos & Point on your line your going to pass it a lot & rack up assists. If he's on a line with more of a playmaker like Bratt will his goal totals go up?? Can he be the goal scoring guy on a line. If he & Bratt were on a line together would both of their assists come down a little & their goal totals go up? When Bratt was with Gusev playing his best Bratt was scoring a lot. Sometimes guys don't shoot because they don't have the confidence in their shot like they do passing. Coming off 11G in 23 playoff games if he starts out scoring goals here that could be a whole new start for him. Through his history that's not the most likely outcome but changing teams will sometimes change a player & that's why I wouldn't rule it out. Especially changing to playmakers like Mercer Jack & Bratt instead of goal scorers like Point Kucherov & Stamkos.
For the amount of time he had on the PP he put up very little results. He played very little on the PK. Will that change?
As stated he's a Swiss army knife. He's got all the tools it's just a matter of which ones he's using. IMO Camp is going to be very important to find out where he fits best as quickly as possible. At least we're finally coming into the season with an established group where we know who has chemistry already. Been a long time since that's happened
