Hope he can be a poor man's Radar
What a trade the Duchene trade would turn out to be then! Hahaha
He's really more of a Lars Eller type... Could be anywhere from a rich to poor mans version... but big, skates well, good defensively, can play wing or center. A rich mans version is a 55 point #2C... a poor mans version is a fringe NHL player who could carve out a PK specialist role.
I have concerns over his low shot production still. He only has 7 goals on the year and yet that's still over 20% shooting because he only has 35 odd shots. Though he is getting very little PP time as well.
Part of that is how he plays and how he's in the dirty areas with the hands to lift shots... part of it is unsustainable. I'd say he's more realistically a 10-11% guy.
