, the place is suited for injury rehab. It’s decked out with gym equipment and a garage occupied by a sheet of ice. But his career was on life support as recently as February 2021, when Ottawa traded him to Carolina. The Hurricanes subsequently placed him on waivers and no other team claimed him. He cleared waivers to land in the AHL for the first time. Since then, he has played for Toronto and Arizona. The Avalanche gave him a professional tryout at training camp, but his injury temporarily derailed him.
“He’s probably one of the happiest guys in the locker room every day,” Eagles forward Callahan Burke said. “He’s fitting with our team nice. Everyone likes him. And on the ice, he’s got awesome skill. It’s cool to be able to play with a player of that caliber.”
