Contract: $6,875,000 over 2 years (Cap hit: $3,437,500)
After a slow start to his NHL career - due to some injury setbacks - he ramped up his game in (22/23) playing for the LA Kings - Averaged 15:36 TOI - ES and PP - scored 23G-18A - and finished the season (+10)
Big body but not overly physical - uses his long reach as an advantage
Skating has improved but he's not a burner between the blue lines
Once he does get a head of steam he is difficult to defend driving the middle lane off the puck and has well above average skill with the play on his stick in scoring areas
Ready for more responsibility - could be a 30 goal scorer on current trajectory
