From the goals I’ve watched – Vanacker has been more of your meat and potatoes kinda player up front. Pridham has been your sniper, and he’s got a cannon of a shot like Lardis has.
Difference I’ve seen is Pridham moves a bit more laterally and shoots where Lardis finds a spot and off he goes. Eager for him to finally sign with the Hawks, EDIT: even though it looks like he’s playing for BU next year.
I don’t see much of a role for him here, so maybe use him as a sweetener in helping to acquire a player like Tuch or Robertson?
