there is no denying he was skilled and entertaining, but that doesn't mean he wasn't overrated. he is a lot like Kovalchuk, both players got huge ice time minutes (tops in the league, top PP minutes) and were still relatively outshot and outscored while on the ice. with his talents, he could've been a more dynamic 2way winger, but he only played on one end of the ice especially later in his career.
