I get he played with Demidov and he used to be a good NHL player.
He’s a gamble at best.
Sign to a low value contract with bonuses, if he sucks, dump him. Not much of a risk if there is not a big cap hit, and if he is gone, no bonus overage for the following year.
I think he can still play, but he is not the player he was obviously…. could be a 40-50 point guy, but I am not sure that is good enough to be our #2 center. I’d likely stick with Dach over him.
The only reason they would consider it is because he was a mentor to Demidov last year.
