Season in Review: Nick Spaling
Nick Spaling was a hot take-promoting player for the Penguins this past season. He became hated by many due to his contract, but he was 'okay.' Maybe best described as vanilla. Let's take a look.
Age: 26 (September 19, 1988)
Contract Status: Under contract for the 2015/16 season followed by UFA on July 1, 2016 - AAV $2.2M
2014-15 Stats
Most frequent forward linematesVery small sample size, but the numbers that Spaling and Bennett were able to put up while on the ice together were impressive. It could be fun to see that being maybe, part of the 4th line this coming season. No idea if it would work, but maybe a 4th line of Spaling, Bennett, and Oskar Sundqvist could be fun.
