I'm okay with this. Based on his numbers that he is more defensively minded on the ice maybe he becomes Backlunds replacement as the "Leagues best 3rd line center".
Kinda following the same trajectory too. If I recall Backlund didn't put up big offensive numbers in his first 5 seasons and the Flames signed him to low AAV contracts around 2-3 years.
Could become a rock on the PK and good support for up and coming prospects.
