Hmm... so based on a little more digging at his numbers, they bought him as a 22-year-old and brought him along slowly, first with a year in Div. 3, then two years as a backup (only about 200 minutes the first year). So his lack of scoring for a couple of years was possibly mostly a matter of minutes and experience.
The year before last he had no goals in 21 games, but they were all junk minutes, 12 minutes here, 15 minutes there.
Last year, he got some starts early in the season but didn't score, and then was consigned to the bench again. But I suspect someone got injured because in the last two months, he got a bunch of starts and scored 7 goals in their last 11 games.
So that's positive, potentially. When actually given the lead role, he pretty much filled the net regularly.
If that's a trend that holds and he's just hitting his stride that would be a hell of a spot, I have to admit.
