Statistics state that he's pretty much a 0.5PPG player in the AHL, while that's not technically all that bad I'm sure KalPa is looking for a guy who can put up numbers slightly better than that, considering their top center Tommi Miettinen isn't producing at the rate he's used to before in his career in Finland and Sweden. Atleast he should be pretty motivated since something closer to 0.7-0.8 PPG could warrant him some serious considerations for a spot in the upcoming World Championships..?

Although I'm not a supporter of Dukla Trenčín, where he's played this season, according to Dukla's fans he's been one of the best players of the team. In my opinion he's a good team player, defensive responsible with good face off and it's likely for him to make 0.7-0.8 PPG in SM-Liiga. In Slovak Extraliga he made 26 points in 25 games.
However I doubt he's got a chance to play at the World Championship in Slovakia this year.
