Geekie on Seravalli Trade Board

I haven't watched much of Geekie, is he like a super good defensive player or something?

From what I gather, also without watching him, he's an offensive version of Rasmussen. Big body, right shot, good at faceoffs. Had great chemistry playing junior hockey with Rasmussen also.

He really hasn't produced much offense though and is 24. He seems like a bottom 6 player who should be in a defensive roll but I haven't seen much of his play. 28 points in 69 games doesn't scream offensive player to me anyways. If he was available for cheap sure, I don't know if Kubalik isb a cheap price tag.

Seems to be a middle 6er similar to Ras. Strangely, he has decent GF/60 & xGF/60 but is primarily deployed with defensive zone starts. I think if you put some of that defensive responsibility on Ras's shoulders and deploy him more on the offensive side of the ice, you'll see that translate to more counting stats.

I don't disagree. I'm all for taking a chance on him but I think Kubalik is a bit too much to give up. Maybe a third?
