How is his Tampa Bay season even relevant? It was years ago. Do you have any proof of these claims? (Montreal didn't want him back, he has a rep of pouting)
He may not be a trooper like Gio but he's certainly no pouter/lazy like the Kovalevs and Kostitsyns' of the hockey world. He should've gotten more, there's no debating that whatsoever.

Yes, as I said Stastny he and Landeskog make up the shutdown line. But he's not on the top line of Duchene ROR and Parenteau/McGinn.
