People are critical of him cause he's not a top six forward... But for the cheap price the flames paid for him, he doesn't need to be.

For the most part I would disagree that people are critical of him. What seems like criticism towards Joe is more criticism to where he has been slotted in the line up. I agree 100% he has great 3rd line C potential....its when Hartley has him on higher lines with more skilled guys where he looks a bit lost.
