If he was only statistically good in the Playoffs, sure.
But when he's visibly by far the most effective player for the Flames on a yearly basis, that changes things.
I'd say that perhaps he outplayed his performance in 16-17 and 18-19, but the Flames as a whole won 1 out of 9 games in that span so hard to judge.
In the 2 years (rookie season and this past year) where the Flames actually made some noise, he was very effective, especially in the bubble where he was quite easily one of the Flames' top 2 forwards, if not the best.
30 Playoff games is a decent sample size.
