To be fair, he was completely snake-bit in Calgary. He hustled and he was where he needed to be, but he just could not bury anything.

That basically sums it up. I thought he looked pretty good in the NHL. He had at least two good chances per game in the NHL.
Those numbers he's posted in the last 10 games isn't an anomaly for him. He's been doing that all season with 61 points in 47 games.
At least he's signed for next season so he can possibly make a push for a spot on the Flames or he'll continue to be the star on the Heat and be a go-to callup.
