Exactly my impressions, too. He had way more skill than most of the guys billed as bottom line bangers. Maltby is a nice comparable. Another name I might toss out there is Abdelkader, if we just ignore the frustration of trying to turn him into a top liner. For the years Abby was an NHLer, he was 13th in the league for hits. I dunno why I looked that up I was just curious. During that same time period though Ovechkin was 6th. That's pretty nuts.
I didn't realize Abdelkader had that many hits. I always thought he was pretty physical but not in the league of someone like Clutterbuck (Who I can only assume is top 5).
Where does Grewe slot into Ilves dept chart? And is it higher in the lineup than he would have potentially been in Grand Rapids? GR isn't so deep next year.
