Yeah - the guy hadn’t played Center in like 5 years and then we threw him there in the middle of a stretch drive and playoffs.
I also think he’d have been more effective offensively on the wing but thought he was pretty solid overall.
I would have taken him back on this deal in a heartbeat. A very effective player that has averaged 42 points per 82 games the last three seasons for $2.1M is a steal.
Honestly think he actually fit in here well too, just had no puck luck and the points don’t at all tell the story.
