He has one less even strength goal than both Gaudreau and Monahan this season, yet he is your target? Bizarre. Carry on then.

He's not a top 6 forward anymore. Is his play this season not making it any more clear? Guy can't get the puck in the net, or set players up.
It happens that older players play just drops off at a certain point.
