That's an awful long time to be snakebit man. |
Good. If you watch the games, you saw the disallowed goal, other goals he contributed to but didn’t get points, etc.
I didn’t say he has been snakebit for years. I separate his work in to
Year 1 - good and consistent NHL linemates, good productivity and promise
Year 2, 3 - blender, bad coach, many bad linemates, productivity in line with opportunity
Year 4 - better linemates but still in a blender, visibly playing well, snakebit
I think players benefit from stability and chemistry
