Rapports de dépistage de Sam Lafferty

Lafferty is proving to be a fantastic addition for the Canucks
He's providing great value in relation to what Vancouver is paying him.
His role has been evolving. Some nights he's being deployed as a third-line forward. Other nights he has found a home in the Canucks top six.
His TOI has ranged accordingly from 12:00 - 16:00. The majority of his TOI comes at ES. He has some clean up duty on both special teams units.
Plays fast. Physical. High end compete. Doesn't cut corners. Tracks up and down the full 200ft
Providing better than secondary offense.
Pending UFA at end of the season.

Acquired by Vancouver at the end of training camp.
Early on it appears he will have an elevated role with the Canucks.
Skated 18:00 in first game vs Edmonton. Was used in all situations. Played with pace. Chipped in offensively (1A).
Trustworthy in a bottom six role. Competes. Leans on opponents. Doesn't back down. Providing secondary offense would be a bonus.
Should assist with elevating the Canucks penalty kill.

Consistent competitor who averaged 13:15 TOI playing for the Leafs after being acquired in trade from the Chicago Blackhawks in February 2023.
Deployed in all situations - secondary PP - puck retrieval - crease crash role
Moves well - creates turnovers - sneaky skill off the rush at times - works for his chances - can slide into 3F if required - useful 2-way player on a reasonable contract paying $1.15M
UFA after (23/24) season.
