Blaming his regular season play on his line mates is just a broken excuse.
As far as what he'll be when he's no longer a Flame, we'll have to agree to disagree. I think he'd be Sven Baertschi, but only time will tell.
He could prove me wrong there but that's irrelevant anyway.
What he is Flame is what I care about, and that's very clear by now.

I’m not actually blaming his line mates - I’m more just speculating that he’s not the perfect professional and isn’t responding well to being pushed down the line-up by players like Leivo and Simon who haven’t done anything to earn better positions in the lineup.
