He doesn't miss time. He has had 200+ hits in six straight seasons. Maybe he'll break down, but it hasn't happened yet. It's possible the Oilers just suck.
It’s really unfortunate because I give it 15 games and most people are going to be wanting him to miss time.

I think people should put the advanced stats away and go watch past Oiler games. I watched nearly all of the Oilers games the past few years and he hasn’t looked like a good serviceable player amongst that collection of AHLers.

But let’s get excited because most of the time he’ll cheap shot someone in a scrum after the play, stalk players away from the puck, throw inconsequential hits, and be a borderline goon on the verge of getting suspended.
