I don't expect goals from him at this point, but I did notice one thing last year: He was quietly effective at moving the puck up the ice. When Milan Lucic carries the puck into the offensive zone, You Do Not Stop Him. He goes in a very straight line from point A to point B, and woe betide anyone who occupies a point in between.

Now, whether anything happens after the puck reaches point B depends on his linemates, who probably won't be up to much. But at least they get a bit of time in the O zone.
