Bad shot, bad finishing instincts? Hopefully he can isolate and work on it.
Better to have a guy producing at a third line level that generates at a second line level I suppose, as at least there's a chance things get better.
But he's not a fourth liner.

He scored 33% of his points in 24% of his icetime with Backlund and Tkachuk.
Outside of that, he produced at a 4th line rate and there were 3 players on the Flames roster who were statistically better in basically every offensive category getting the same rough minutes.
For the love of god stop talking about his high danger scoring chances and talk about his actual, tangible offense.
