In 44 games between the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals this season, the 32-year-old winger had four goals and 11 total points. He had spent the entirety of his career with the Flyers beforehand and was known as being a player who can be utilized on anywhere in the lineup. This could very well be the case in Dallas, too. Also, do not be surprised if he ends up being used on the penalty kill.

It is never a bad thing to add a very hard-working depth player who also happens to have a lot of experience. We will see how he does on his brand new team.
