Contract: $72,000,000 over 8 years (Cap hit: $9,000,000)
Deserves credit for re-establishing himself as a high end point producer / goal scorer in (22/23).
His overall commitment, and results, improved exponentially and it wasn't just offense. His defensive detail, on and off the puck, went to another level (+15).
Compact frame but sturdy in traffic. Very quick catch and release. Snaps pucks on net from all angles. Elite shot.
Solid skater, but not a burner / speed threat off the rush in transition.
Reads the ice very well in the offensive zone. Speaks to his hockey sense how he finds quiet ice / gets open between the dots.
