All he does is get open, pull the trigger and score. He's boring.
But maybe that's all we need him to do. And he's good at it.

Agreed. He is a solid player and an elite finisher, but I just have a hard time grouping him with the elite centers in the league due to the fact that he is quite one dimensional (with that one dimension being goalscoring). He's not great defensively, can't carry the puck, average passer and stickhandler, not all that physical or fast, but his shot is off the charts. He's a player that knows his role, sticks to it and excels. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
