I see 82 points a season as his base level going forward. And if our GM could get him an actual line to play with he'd easily be over a PPG, imo.

When the trade was made, I pointed to Dougie Hamilton as an example of a player taking time to adjust
He was a disaster his first ~20 games
Not too shabby after that
