Nobody is debating his overall skills. He's a great player. He's just not what I would call an elite hockey player. He's like a more skilled Stephane Yelle which is great because you need those guys to win but I have a problem putting him in the same sentence as Crosby, Malkin, St. Louis, Stamkos, etc. Heck even Tavares is turning into a better player.
