I find that the views are too binary on this guy.
He is clearly an NHLer in my view, and one that can help this team. Just not the guy we all hoped for. So adjust expectations and evaluate on that basis.

This is exactly what I said too. He’s not close to being waiver wire fodder but expecting him to be anything other than a solid bottom six forward at this point is apparently “impatient.”
