well, expectations versus what you actually are getting is to be determined.
I think many had used a Doug Gilmour as an NHL comparable... someone that could be a reliable two way centerman but could also score.
Personally, i don't see that happening, though you never know.
I am a big Peca fan, so that example was actually meant as a positive... Peca was pound for pound one of the toughest guys in the NHL at his prime... Maybe Sam while put up more Bergeron type numbers (as opposed to Peca) with more of an edge to his game.... but i don't see him being a point per game player in today's NHL. If he gets into the 55 point range but with an edge, i'd take that
