So he can play center too. Big plus for him!

I remember earlier in MLS' tenure, he was lauding pitlick's defensive play too.
He's part of the future as far as I'm concerned. Sure, these utility type players sometimes get wedged into a contract liability down the road (although this is the case with many different types of players too), but he hasn't shown anything which suggests they shouldn't proceed with him.

Robbed of a goal last night.
On top of that, he's got one of the best production rates among ALL rookies.

Imo, he has the potential to be even better than Byron. Because he has the speed, but also the hands, and a physique that can make him more effective along the wall. Peak Byron was lethal in spots going the other way after a turnover and getting to loose pucks around the net faster than the anyone. But he was liability when it came to maintaining offensive zone possession because he could easily be separated from the puck.

The rookie thing, I'm pretty meh on. He's a 24 year old rookie. But still
hopefully he does have higher levels he'll develop his game to, because I already like his game a lot as is.

I was surprised to see that he could play center. Definitely an added bonus. I'd be very surprised if we don't re-sign him.

He gets a breakaway a game it seems.
Fits well on the team, let's sign this player.

Among all NHL players having played 35 games or more, Pitlick is first in shooting percentage at 28.6%. He basically scores every 4 shots.

That's usually a sign that his goal total will go down going forward.
But, I've liked his overall game.

A waiver pick up trusted with 21+ minutes of ice time scores a SHG in the last minute and sets up CC with the game winner.
Nice job Jeff Gorton with your first move with the organization.

This kid is a keeper......kudos to Gorton for picking him up, for nothing...
He's certainly been a nice surprise.
Definitely earned himself a contract. I'd do a couple years and go from there.

Agreed, a few years back Joel Hanley looked like our answer for a PMD in a short sample size

Depends on dollar amount. That said I'm betting it's two year at 1.75-2 million. Hoping gabs can get 3 though at a similar number.

Yes 2 yrs 1,75m is what I’m expecting. If I was his agent, I wouldn’t sign for 3 years though

I thought they said, if he plays a certain number of games, he is still RFA?
I feel his value is greater to us than other teams.

Could see he was a keeper after his first couple of games. Real good hockey sense. That trumps everything.
