I know I am a debbie downer but all of these highlights show him on the outside making a pass to the high slot or flitting through the scoring zone where the other team has lost him for a second..... there was no won puck battles or surviving contact to make a play.
This is basically the highlights of a fringe player. Not too many of these guys successful in the league.
Playing on a line with Cervenka you can see why they would be leading the team in negative plus minus.
He needs a Franzen type as a centre to reach his potential.... but so does Cammalleri and Baertschi.
