Current Player Evaluation
The 26-year-old former second-round pick (41st overall in 2013) is rather an easy current evaluation.
His possession metrics at 5-on-5 have never been very strong compared to his teammates — he’s lagged far behind his teammates in terms of Corsi-For Relative in three of the last four years — and he doesn’t make up for it with high-end offense or outstanding work on special teams, either.
