Plays heavy, playoff style hockey, Darryl Sutter hockey. He’s still scoring highlight reel goals, he still has a nice set of mitts and is a havoc in front of the net. It’d be like having another Matthew Tkachuk on the team. I’d take Corey Perry over Leivo, Ritchie, Simon, probably Lucic and maybe even Bennett right now. That’s just strictly on the ice, not even looking at their contracts.
