And yes, he was the best player. That's why he won the Ted Lindsay, for most outstanding player. He didn't win the Hart, for most valuable player, because he wasn't very valuable sitting in the pressbox.

But they play 100% of the minutes when they do play, and touch the puck way more than any position player.
