I approve of this signing. We need scoring wingers badly, and he comes in pretty cheap. I don't think much of his 200 foot game, but it can't be any worse than Dadonov or Hoffman were defensively last year. Plus, kid's got speed to spare. Always a nice asset to have.
My new projected lineup:
Huberdeau-Barkov-Connolly
Duclair-Wennberg-Hornqvist
Saarela-Acciari-Vatrano
Lomberg-Verhaege-Hinostroza
Tippett?
Yandle-Ekblad
Weegar-Stralman
Nutivaara-Gudas
Keeper/Stillman/Priskie
Bobrovsky/Driedger
*Weak at center and the second pair on defense, but much of the success rests on Bobrovsky's shoulders. Could be another long season, but there are some guys to keep an eye on coming up.
