He was definitely getting on the scoresheet last year, but his analytics have been low for a while. I believe his xG% remained around 40%, while usually having negative relative Corsi.
I still like this guy's skillset, I think he's similar to Sharangovich that's less responsible defensively. I think he might give the Flames another option in the shootout, and maybe the PP(though he has been struggling the PP this year).
He was in the player assistance program for substance abuse while with DET, so those issues might have resurfaced.
