Career individual shooting percentage of 5% - which is abysmal and seems unlucky unless he has the worst shot in the NHL (seems unlikely as he had 20 goals in 38 AHL games at one point).
However he generates a ton of chances - his per 60 chance creation rates are similar to Toffoli and Parsons - he just has on on-ice shooting percentage of 6.6% and plays with Lewis and Andreoff all the time.
Really good passing rates and creates has really good primary assist stats for his ice time/linemates.
Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing this to see what happens:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Bennett
Tkachuk - Backlund - Shore
Ferland - Janko - Frolik
Lazar - Stajan - Brouwer
Demoting Ferland and Frolik really makes that 3rd line look good all of a sudden.

I also think he’s a better player than ppl are giving him credit for.
Great deadline for the Flames.
