2 games and 26 minutes in the pre-season the last three seasons (1 game in 19-20, no games in 20-21, 1 game in 21-22)
1 game and 11 minutes in the regular season the last three seasons, and he was really good in that game he played.
The problem is he's never actually been given a real shot.
The only pre-season he got a longer look was 18-19 when he got three games, scored 2 goals, and looked like a promising youngster that just needed more time and to adapt to pro hockey coming out of junior.
And let's be honest here the reason for that is 100% his size, and more specifically that the GM/Coach don't think they can add a third small, skilled forward with Gaudreau, and Mangiapane already on the roster.
