Last Season
One goal and four assists in 27 games — five points, minus-one, at 9:44 a night with 12 penalty minutes. His five-on-five work was done in Columbus.
The Finesse Game
Almost nothing. Twenty-eight unblocked attempts, one goal, median 26 feet with 43 per cent from inside twenty.
A hundred and two points in 416 career games is the rate of a fourth-line checker who occasionally scores, and at 32 the occasionally has stopped.
The Physical Game
Six foot one, 203, and he blocks shots and finishes checks. Twelve penalty minutes in 27 games.
The physical commitment is the whole career — undrafted out of Northeastern, and 416 NHL games out of being willing to do the parts nobody wants.
The Intangibles
Forty-six point two per cent of the expected goals, 20th percentile, in 244 minutes — a small sample and a poor one.
He is 32 and joins a Philadelphia roster already carrying Acciari, Grundstrom and Aston-Reese types in quantity. This is a thirteenth-forward job and the page cannot honestly say more.
Philadelphia finished sixth on the penalty kill. He will kill some of them.
