GORDO'S TAKE: Yes, Paajarvi is limited to a checking role, with 67 percent of his zone starts coming in the defensive zone. But those two goals he scored in his first 35 games? That is not good enough for a former 10th overall NHL Draft pick in his eighth tour of the league. He is not terribly physical and he has half as many blocked shots (12) as Dmitrij Jaskin. Needless to say he must do more to keep a third-line role.
