I am pretty meh about the signing. He's an extra forward. In my opinion, he doesn't really bring much to the team good or bad but he seems to be a safe guy that the coach can trust and know that if in a pinch, he can go out there and play hard and won't crush you. Maybe he can figure out how to chip in a few goals this year. At 700k, I think that is as cheap as you can physically pay a guy. I would have moved on to someone else personally but I guess the coach knows what he has so there is some value in that. He's protection from gifting a roster spot to a player who maybe should be on the farm which I am good with. If he gets beat out, you can send him down and that contract not count.
