Good signing, just wish him and Zacha would bury some of the many unbelievable chances they get!
Pretty sure he was out there in the final minute, trying to tie the game. I didn't even hate it.

4th line winger on a bottom feeder to 1C on a playoff team? He certainly hasn’t been set up to succeed but all things considered he’s performed above any and all expectations. While I wish we were getting more from him he’s probably one of the last guys on the team I’d expect more of.

4 mil is a lot for a 4th liner that has zero clutch ability in the playoffs. We have a plethora of bottom sixers that might cost half of that. Regular season stats don’t mean anything if your production goes to hell once it matters. He may be able to get points on the 3rd line 2nd pp during the RS but he’s just a body out there doing less than nothing.

$4M total, $2M per year. $4M I’d agree with you but at $2M I think he’s doing his job well enough.
Highlights how badly the team needs a real top 6 center though.

That’s better for sure but I don’t think he’s earned a single dollar this series. You can say that about most of the team though. He was just billed as a guy that would be a clutch playoff add and he seems more like a playoff dud.

Unfortunately the only healthy player really able to keep up with pasta is Jake but they are like oil and water on a line together.

I would try it again. Jake set him up tonite so have that at least

At this point let Freddy or Beecher get a game in between them, could it really go that much worse?

Would be a very good 3rd liner or 4th liner in a perfect world, but thrust into top line duty where he just isn't god enough. I can't necessarily be mad at him for that, as much as I'd want more. I'm not disappointed in the way I'm disappointed in Zacha.
Kudos to Geekie for turning his season around and keeping the needle pointed in the right direction.
