He's going to be cheap, he has a good attitude. I think a realistic upside to him is a responsible 50-60 point centre. Low side is an inconsistent, oft injured 30-40 point guy.

Given his age and the direction the team is taking, it would be stupid not to sign him.

I think his trajectory is pretty typical for a guy like him. Got several tastes of the NHL but struggled with the pace and size of NHLers, worked on skating and strength, earned his spot in the lineup. Now he is trying to prove that he belongs as a top six contributer.
