What team might be looking for a slowish 25 year old LW who had a productive rookie year, but then only played 32 gms with 5pts last year.

Some team might grab him at that point. Especially since its one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, having him signed at an ELC-like $800K makes him more attractive to another team than having an unsigned RFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 My guess is his agent confirmed that there he didn't attract any interest on the trade front, so he decided to make the best of a bad hand and try to build up his c.v. a bit. Good luck to him, because I don't see much of an NHL future in his cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazy26 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 My bet is that he's sent to Laval when every team is reassigning their players, and that he clears waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still had a couple of weeks before the hearing but he was getting a contract one way or the other. It actually came in a bit lower than I expected.
