Granted yes he is getting way more offensive zone starts than d zone starts but I think a player like that might be a good fit with a d first centre like backlund.
Not saying there's no risk but it's not a brouwer situation because he walks in the summer, no financial obligation, if the acquisition cost is low I don't see a lot to lose.

You must be looking at the wrong stats or I haven’t had my morning coffee.
He’s negative in pretty much every single category, while his PDO is a little low this year yes. He is what he is, and I think he’s overrated and will cost too much. 30-40% of his points come on the PP and he’s not getting that opportunity here.
