I hope that the Flames work a lot with him and turn him into a solid Pk'er. He has speed and a really long reach. I kept saying this about Hathaway as well, and they turned him into a solid PK'er. I always think these 4th liners should be able to take the harder PK minutes off of the more talented forwards.

He isn't young, but because he hasn't had much NHL time, it isn't like he is a finished product either. I would expect him to improve if given some runway. I don't want to see him in the top 6 other than the odd game against teams that are taking liberties against Gaudreau, but I think he will be a very solid 4th liner. I like this signing.
