Last Season
Three goals and 11 assists in 62 games — 14 points, even in plus-minus, at 9:45 a night with 107 penalty minutes. His five-on-five work was done in Anaheim.
The Finesse Game
Fifty-seven unblocked attempts, three goals, median 17 feet with 51 per cent from inside twenty — which is where a man his size shoots from and is the only interesting line on the page.
Forty-six points in 307 career games, fourteen of them goals. Eleven assists in 62 games is a career-high sort of number for him.
The Physical Game
Six foot five and 232, and the job is the job. A hundred and seven penalty minutes in under ten minutes a night is one of the highest rates in the league.
He fights, he protects teammates, and he is undrafted out of Prince Edward Island with three hundred NHL games out of doing it.
The skating is poor and it is why he cannot be given more.
The Intangibles
Forty-four point two per cent of the expected goals, 11th percentile, and 47.4 per cent of the shot attempts, 29th, across 596 minutes in Anaheim, with the goals 23-36 against.
He is 32, and this is a roster spot rather than a hockey player, which the club knows perfectly well. St. Louis has Toropchenko at six foot six and Finley at six foot six already. Whether all three dress is the question this page raises.
