There's nothing spectacular about Santorelli at all. Guys like him are a dime-a-dozen in today's NHL.
Somebody mentioned Mason Raymond earlier in the thread. I'm not sure if that was in jest, but I think it's correct, if you're talking about the biggest off-season steal. I'd rather have Raymond at $1M than Santorelli at $550K, personally. Raymond brings that scarce element of elite speed, which has value. Santorelli is presently benefiting from the recency effect of a two-goal performance against Calgary.
Maybe, but as we've seen with him and others, if you don't do anything very effective with it, what value does it really have.
