He's the perfect example of why you stick with a guy through the growing pains. Hope he remains a Flame for his entire career.

Look beyond the scoring stats.
The guy gets buried started in the defensive zone against all the best lines around. He and his line carries the play despite that. That lets Gaudreau and Monahan have easier match-ups and more offensive zone starts.
