How anyone can say he hasn't exceeded expectations is beyond me - he's paid 800k/year and was acquired for a career AHLer - what did you think he was going to be?
As long as he plays to his physical strengths having a simple north-south game driving to the net & crashing bodies, he's been an effective complimentary player to the top 6.
He's best viewed as a shrewd replacement to Colborne at 1/3 the cost.
