Those aren't useless numbers for a
bottom six role, especially when the guy is big, physical and a right-shot RW. We've been rotating green and borderline bottom-line players into 3rd and 4th line RW who don't have those numbers combined.
At the acquisition cost, it's a very good gamble, and far from useless or terrible.
After an hour of freaking out and spamming the thread earlier today, you finally seemed to realize you were being over dramatic and sensational about it. No need to start up again.
If he scores a few goals, plays physical, scores in the shootout, fights sticking up for teammates, there's very much some reward in that for no risk/cost.
We did add depth to our bottom six, which was an area of concern. We did it by spending a 7th round pick for next year. If you're calling us losers for not adding a top six scoring threat, thats completely unrealistic as today isn't a day where you do that without over-paying a ridiculous and potentially crippling price.
