I agree about him not being the difference maker in terms of scoring, but the guy is one of our best defensive forwards. Maybe he does nothing, but maybe he breaks up a play that leads to a goal. And right now this is a team that can use a guy who knows how to play defense...especially against an offensive team like the Leafs.
