Do you have some PP time to give him? That's where he would be the most efficient

But I don't see him having a long NHL career. Very easy to cheer for this guy too. I hope he makes a bit of NHL money

Umm okay. And he also wasn't good until reaching Tampa. It's necessary to wait five years for him to be a decent 3rd liner, there's no room for him in STL.

He was actually a pretty good bottom-6 forward for Ottawa since 2019-20

2019-20 : 0.36 PPG
2020-21 : 0.36 PPG
2021-22 : 0.40 PPG
2022-23 : 0.40 PPG

Even got Selke votes in 2020-21 despite scoring only 20 pts...

Mark Stone was also a "clunky skater" although he has elite hockey IQ

All that said, I doubt Sokolov has a long NHL career, he has a very good shot, some offensive skill but not enough defensive awareness which will expose his skating weakness. If I had to guess, he'll play 100-ish NHL games in total.
