Really interesting player analytically. Could explode in bigger minutes and everything defensively looks solid. Sharks out of all teams need players like this so much.
Had a great year in SJ, showed a lot of promise. He'll likely slot into the 3RW role alongside whatever 3C we get and Jonathan Dahlen. Looking forward to it.
Today I learned that he spells his name with an 's' in it.
In modern Latvia male names commonly end in 's' while female names commonly end in 'a' or 'e'. Pre-independence Latvian names we're Germanized and didn't do this. Now they do.
