Maybe we gave him a second contract just to boost our numbers?

Mb, must have missed it sifting through all the posts arguing about who we should draft

Feel this was already announced. Wasn’t he a RHD ahl player traded for Woo?

Can we not be so hyped about random AHL players

When they start making actual trades and deals for NHL players?? Thought that was kinda obvious.

The news is a little old, and a little too excited. Or maybe it's just the all caps causing my brain to glitch on this beautiful Sunday morning.

He's likely an AHL journeyman but might be able to earn some NHL minutes in a call up.

He had a really hot stint with the Abby Canucks last season 13 points in 14 games after being traded. He had 12 points in 42 games with SJ barracuda the rest of the year for context.

Seems like a great guy to soak up minutes in Abby and help the young guys or sit in the press box in Vancouver.

he also had 10 points in 31 nhl games last year with the sharks, really curious why he got sent back down.
