For the love of god stop talking about his high danger scoring chances and talk about his actual, tangible offense.

For the love of god, stop getting hung up on the notion that a player playing with better linemates tends to produce more than when he plays with two guys that literally don't produce at all.
I literally just produced close to 30 metrics to describe the player, none of them come into the 4th line range in NHL forwards.
I couldn't be any more straight forward about this. I've agreed he's not a top six guy, I've agreed they need to upgrade the top six without inserting Bennett.
So you're literally hanging on to the fourth line designation without a single thing to back it up.
Becoming a big weird my dude.
