He seems like a pretty decent 4th liner though.
27 points in 80 games with Dallas in 2017-2018
20 points in 63 games with the Flyers in 2019-2020
Avg 0.30 ppg or 24 points per 82 games season for a 4th liner is pretty good production. I mean the Flames were getting that kind of production out of Sam Bennett and he was getting some top 6 minutes sprinkled in.
That's also what Derek Ryan was putting up last season. Pitlick is bigger and grittier too and half the price of Ryan.
The top 6 needs upgrading, but so does the bottom 6.
Ideally, you sign a guy like in UFA but will it cost less than $2 million? Barclay Goodrow just got $3.6 million from the Rangers for a similar type of role.
