He had 1 good year and an exceptional year. The whole McDavid's winger thing is overstated. He wins a lot of faceoffs and typically centers his own line and is the only reason why Mike Cammalleri was going a ppg for a dozen or so games when they were together.

This year he has played 63.5% on McDavid's line (with Maroon or Lucic). He's centred a line about 35% of the time. The fact he takes faceoffs for McDavid doesn't make him the centre on that line. And Lucic was only on his line for 25% of the time (and only 9.5% with Draisaitl as centre).

Last year, the one after which they signed the contract, he played on McDavid's line over 80% of the time.
