Flashes in the 4 games he played that season? That’s the sample size you’re using for your analysis?
GG picked him in the preseason then buried him, but played him 26 times last year? Right.
He’s a serviceable 4th liner player who happens to also provide stability to his brothers mental well being in some form, which is why he was acquired from Colorado 28 months ago, and remained in this team and in the city of Calgary for the last 16+ months as his brothers roommate, playing sporadically, when many other 4th liners have come and gone to Stockton and back or are no longer in the organization.
