Undrafted, two hundred and four games, and the sixteenth percentile.

Last Season
Eight goals and 14 assists in 64 games — 22 points, minus-six, at 11:58 a night with 38 penalty minutes. His five-on-five work was done in Seattle.
The Finesse Game
Thin and pointed outward. Ninety-two unblocked attempts, eight goals, median 31 feet with only 32 per cent from inside twenty — one of the few fourth-liners in this book shooting from the perimeter.
Fifty-five points in 204 career games. He is not going to score his way up a depth chart.
The Physical Game
Five foot eleven, 202, and thick — he forechecks hard and is difficult to knock over. Thirty-eight penalty minutes.
The Intangibles
Forty-five point seven per cent of the expected goals, 16th percentile, in 679 minutes, with the chances 22.3 to 26.5 against.
Below the line on a Seattle club that was itself below the line.
He is 25, undrafted out of the Ontario league, and has made 204 NHL games out of nothing, which is genuinely difficult. Six points in his last ten.
New York finished 29th at generating even-strength offence. A fourth-line winger who shoots from thirty-one feet is not the answer to that, and is not being asked to be.
