5+4 in his last 10 ... same numbers he put up in the first 31. Glad the points are coming for him lately. I think he's been really solid all season, but with our lack of secondary scoring it's vital that guys like him are chipping in. Didn't seem to get the bounces early in the season.
I really like him as a player in general, just a sound player who plays the game the right way. Sure, he's overpaid a bit and the final 1-2 years of the contract aren't going to be pretty, but that's UFA for you. Certainly one of the better UFA signings in the last few years, in addition to Markstrom and Tanev.
