Considering he's a seven-year NHL veteran that's never played in more than 66 games in a single season, you're bang on that he can't be counted on for a full season. And considering he's never scored more than 18 goals in a season, 30 seems like wishful thinking.

Yeah, but pro-rate his goals over a full season (I know....I know) and you get a guy that apparently could approach 30 if he somehow managed to stay healthy.

My favourite line was from a buddy of mine who said that he heard Nik tore a bunch of ligaments in his wrist while signing the contract.

That's a good one :lol:

Yes I will agree that this past season, if you pro-rated his 18 goals he'd be close to a 30-goal scorer. But that's one season out of seven. Every other season he's played, even with pro-rating he wouldn't be a 20-goal scorer, let alone 30. Like I said earlier I did see some improvements in him this past year, so I don't necessarily mind the fact that they are bringing him back. I just think it's absurb that JFJ would look at this guy and think "he deserves a 100% raise."
