Yes, but when "best ever" is thrown around I sort of think more of Tomas Holmstrom where I'm sure he's got a permanent stick mark across his back from standing in front of the net.
And I agree. We need someone who isn't afraid to take up camp in front of a goalie and pay the price to redirect the shots in. It's a dirty job, but if you learn to do it, you become almost irreplaceable on the team.
