His Nashville series must have been pretty good then, to overshadow a 40+ goal Selke winning season so completely.
I think you can legitimately say his reputation is founded overmuch on one good season that he’s never going to repeat, but at this stage I don’t think anyone trades for the guy expecting him to win another Selke or finish top 5 in goals again. You’re pretty much getting a defensively responsible player with some injury risk who’s good for 25 goals or so playing 2nd line minutes, plus PP and PK.
