I swear, if I had to guess this persons name from the picture. I might have actually come up with Josh Brown
Come on Joshie, show us you are a hidden gem and that we are currently run by geniuses.

I remember when Vinnie Desharnais was considered a lost cause.. maybe Sruart and Coffee can coach him up tp at ;east Desharnais level.. Vinnie doesn't have much for skating.. but his reach and stride allows him to break up plays & cycles.. see what happens.. Oilers have some serious analytics guys these days and targeted him.. could be for a reason.. ?
He's a better scrapper than Vinnie.. :)

He's 30 years old so about 4-5 years older than Desharnais was at the point where he was a total project. Not a lot of players with a real positive development curve after 30.
I suspect the Oilers like that he can fight too...although it's not a skill that comes in real handy often any more, and if I have to have someone on the team fighting, I prefer it's a forward as it's less disruptive to just not play the fourth line for 5 minutes than to try to rotate just 5 defencemen.
