Dewar, turning 25 this summer, is a restricted free agent enjoying a career-high in goal scoring with 10 this season (he’s shooting 17.5 percent). In total, he’s played 173 games in the league so far, putting up 18 goals and 38 points. In terms of upside, he’s likely already capped out as a bottom-six, grinding-type player, but that doesn’t mean he can’t help.
Dewar possesses some speed to burn, some physicality, and the ability to penalty kill. Last season, he was third among all Wild forwards in time on ice per game on a PK unit that ranked 10th in the league.
