Finnish players are known for their versatility and two-way play, but Ruutu didn’t showcase much of anything this past season, failing to score a single goal in 33 games with the Devils. The 33-year-old was not re-signed, but it would be odd to think that his NHL career has come to a full stop. The good news is that he can still be a capable fourth-line forward who helps on the penalty kill, and his goal drought should end soon with a career 11.6 shooting percentage, though in a good year he’ll still likely end up with single-digit goal totals.
