Agree, attractive player on the surface with his counting stats. But the underlying way in which he generates those points, plus his defensive lapses doesn't scream dead line acquisition to me.

Plus, he's LW which isn't a real need for Calgary and he's not big and tough. Not good defensively means he can't fit on the second line.
