Fans will need to either accept the turnovers he makes if he does the carry the puck more or accept that he’ll be creating much fewer plays because he’s playing more conservative and dumping it in. We as fans cannot have it both ways, nobody bats a .1000. Personally, I’ve generally always been fine with his turnovers because of he has the rare ability to make and create plays out of nothing even if it costs his team once in a while.
I don’t mean to just single you out Kickazzflames as a lot of Canadian fans seem to do this. That’s why Canada is on so many No Trade Lists, because we’re too hard on star players.

Not just star players, all players.
There's a reason Canadian teams don't win their share of championships, and it's not players, coaches, managers or owners...
On average, about two Stanley Cups should go to Canada per decade. There hasn't been one in what, 27 years? It's almost a decade since a Canadian team even made the finals. The pressure is clearly just too much.
