He is a Mogilny replacement- a very wattered down version of Mogilny- but all the same I am fine with this signing.
He isn't much of a Toronto-calibre player- here we like hard-working guys who give it all night in, night out. But so far this pre-season I've seen glimpses of his skill and I am very excited. I think he is well capable of the 50, 55 pt marks he acheived on the Island- he'll be with at least one or two of the following:
Jeff O'Neill
Mats Sundin
Eric Lindros
Darcy Tucker
Alex Steen
Matt Stajan
I think he's a player who needs to be around other good players to succeed- I think he'll be given that opportunity up on the top two lines.
And taking into consideration the considerably low price- I see nothing wrong with this.
