That is not a knock on him as an individual, it's simply a statement of his exposure.
Not bad? It's 2/3rds of the goal scoring rate of Dougie Hamilton. And they weren't flukey goals, they passed the eye test as did many of his non-goal shots. One of which was a snipe that was Iginla-esque.

Teams have a book on literally every player in the NHL and Ahl.
He played more than enough for teams to be able to assess. It's not like he was tucked away in some remote part of the world
