Girgensons signed a three-year, $850,000 contract with Tampa Bay on Monday.
Scouting Report
Inconsistency and injuries have plagued him, after he looked like a big (6'2"), physical forward capable of putting up good offensive numbers. Can play on the wing or in the middle. Overpowered opponents at lower levels but has found it is not as easy to do that in the NHL. Still has room for his game to grow because he missed so much time early on.
Long Range Potential: Big, versatile forward with some scoring ability.
