Do love the signing. Although can't help but think about the Rieder signing

Cautiously optimistic

Arvidsson is a greasy player that goes hard to the net with a great shot has never played with a superstar he will put up 30 g and 35 apples if he stays healthy.
He's what Linus Omark should have been. lol

Great signing and great contract value. If he stays healthy, we finally got Leon his winger!
This team got a lot smaller and softer though: none of Arvidsson, Skinner, or Iglesias will intimidate anyone.

Honestly, his motor and skill will mesh really well with Draisaitl, this is the kind of player he's been desperately needing on his wing.

Players that instinctually drive low and in the middle on zone entry are what Leon needs to play with. He likes to stop up high, get some space, and make a play, so he needs someone to pull defenders low for him to do his thing.

Too often we've paired him with guys that won't do this or do it very well.

I love how he slides more open while shooting that is a unique skill that will go well with Draisaitl he creates his own open shooting lanes

I don't think their counter parts in Foegele or Derek Ryan were intimidating anyone either.

A couple of differences: Arvidsson is also more physical, wins puck battles, is gritty, attacks the net, is good defensively and can one time the puck

I think that's more than a couple lol
Has a way better motor than Eberle. Eberle's a floater. Arvidsson's a waterbug.
