Undrafted, five hundred and eighty-five games, and half his shots from the paint.

Last Season
Thirteen goals and 12 assists in 67 games — 25 points, plus-14, at 13:42 a night with 25 penalty minutes. His five-on-five work was done in Pittsburgh.
The Finesse Game
Modest and perfectly placed. A hundred and twenty-seven unblocked attempts with 50 per cent from inside twenty feet, median 21, and thirteen goals.
That is a career-best scoring season at 34, produced entirely by standing where the puck goes in. A hundred and forty-four points in 585 career games is the honest rate.
Twelve assists is the ceiling.
The Physical Game
Five foot eleven, 204, and one of the most physically committed forwards in the league — he blocks shots, he finishes every check, and he has the injury record of a man who has never taken a shift off.
Twenty-five penalty minutes is low for the way he plays.
The Intangibles
Fifty point eight per cent of the expected goals, 60th percentile, with the goals 40-38 in his favour across 738 minutes.
Undrafted out of Providence, and 585 NHL games out of it.
He is 34 and joins a club that finished sixth on the penalty kill and third at preventing chances. He is exactly the sort of player that structure is made of, and the shot chart says he can still score a little as well.
