Undrafted, small guy who played his first game in the NHL at age 28. I bet this guy has tremendous work ethic and determination. That always helps a team.
Not to mention, he put up 15 goals and 38 points last season, which is 1 more goal and 8 less assists than Backlund put up last year. He would've been ranked 6th among Flames forwards for both goals and points last year. Sounds like a perfect middle 6 player.
He also has great faceoff skills.
