Don't be so sure. He's got serious issues in the way he plays the game at ES. He's in that Leafs-era Phaneuf tier of a guy playing way above his ability level that happens to be good on the power play.
That said I do think he's really, really good on the power play. He would be our PPQB ahead of Giordano, Hamilton, or Brodie.
