That is not a knock on him as an individual, it's simply a statement of his exposure.
Not bad? It's 2/3rds of the goal scoring rate of Dougie Hamilton. And they weren't flukey goals, they passed the eye test as did many of his non-goal shots. One of which was a snipe that was Iginla-esque.

Well he scored at a 5 goal pace over 82 games and Dougie scored 12 goals so I fail to see the 2/3 argue ment but I am guessing you are going to go by minutes played to justify that claim?
I don't have a hate on for the guy and would rather have him at $1.5M than Wideman at $5.25M. Having said that it doesn't look like there is room for him and I quoted the post that suggest keeping him over Wotherspoon would be the right call. Give me the 23 year old every day who I still think could be a solid 4-5 for the Flames as soon as next year.
