Henrique is an excellent character guy. He does lots of great work off ice, and he is going to become a locker room favorite and leader very quickly, especially if you guys resign him.
On ice he is insanely streaky. When he is on he really looks like a force. Really tenacious, not afraid to drive the net and does most things right.
When he is off he is absolutely invisible. It looks like he is giving zero effort and is just coasting. It can actually be really frustrating to watch.
His clutchness is vastly overrated. 2012 was absolutely magical, but it accounts only for two goals and he hasn’t played a playoff game since. Plus there has been plenty of times over the years in the regular season we needed a clutch goal and he was no where to be found. Not too much of a knock though as I see clutchness as an onverall overrated attribute.
Decent defensively, can play the Pp, and an exceellebt PKer even when he isn’t playing well.
He can definitely be a stop gap center and won’t look too out of place, but ideally you want him at wing to get the most out of him offensively.
As long as you don’t expect the moon from him, or expect him to provide primary scoring I think you guys should like him a lot.
