He will be entering his 7th NHL season as a 27 year old. He has managed to score 31 goals in all those years combined. He is what he is- a hard working, big bodied, good skating role player who is likely a good 4th line identity guy who can occasionally play on a 3rd line. A contract like that 2.25 would be such a Canucks banning type move. Please no. Sign him for sure, but for around 1 million, and be happy. Sign him for 2 and this is a mistake. Love to have him as a teammate, I think, but please, management, treat him as he is and not more.
