CODY EAKIN - Center - 28 - $3.85MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 6/20/19
Don't let last season fool you, Cody Eakin is not a slam dunk 20 goal, 40 point 2C/3C. He performed very well last year, of course, but he scored on an unsustainable 18.3% of his shots, indicating that Eakin is likely destined to come back to his ~12 goal Earth once his shooting percentage regresses back to sustainable levels. That doesn't mean Eakin is a bad player, though, and his game is well rounded enough for him to provide value. He's always been a defensively-minded center, and excels at the faceoff dot, reliably being a 50%+ draw winner. He's scrappy, willing to go the distance for his team, but not skilled or smart enough to make a high level impact. A team could do far worse than Eakin as their 3C, but Eakin profiles best as a great fourth line center rather than a mediocre third line center.
