MAGNUS PAAJARVI - Left Winger - 27 - $.900MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2019-2020
LAST UPDATED 6/18/19
While he's most definitely a colossal draft bust (10th overall pick in 2009), Pajaarvi has managed to make himself into a legitimate NHL winger. According to every available report, Paajarvi's work ethic is routinely praised and he always takes his hardworking attitude to every shift. He'll never complain about his ice time or melt down over being a healthy scratch, he'll just take the opportunities he's given and try to make the best of it. He's decently fast and is willing to go to the tough areas of the ice, but unfortunately he just doesn't have the offensive skill necessary for him to be a consistent scorer. He's not overly physical so fans shouldn't mistake him for being a grinder, but he can bring energy to a bottom six and help teach younger players the right way to approach every game. He's still only 27, so he should have value for at least another half-decade, and during that time the team that employs him will be getting a player who's best suited as a 4th line sparkplug.
