He’s not 100x the player at all. He’s a one trick pony. I don’t hate him. It’s hockey. It’s entertainment. And “GTFO”? Nice.
I dislike his style of play is all. IMO guys like him only win riding shotgun. He’s a nail not a hammer.
He’s a good complimentary player who’s had the virtue of playing with a dynamic water bug in Johnny hockey. Why do you think people were ready to send him to Columbus for Mr. Never scored more than 20 PLD?
I’m not alone and stand by my assessment. The guy is baby s@$? Soft. He’s part of the reason for the flames being labeled soft by so many.
No statistical evidence? Erm look at the play off record. How many one and dones? How many times has this group got past the first round?

Sure he looks a bit better in his compete on the boards and in the defensive end. But let’s see if it sticks. Haha more aggressive than what? Being nearly listless? The guy can barely skate as a number one center. He has no agility nor grit. And he isn’t elite offensively save for his ability to raise pucks.
