Yup.
Its why i just SMH when i read some of the opinions about him.
Is he elite? No.
Is he a top 10 C in the game? No, but certainly a #1. This year looks to be an outlier as it looks to be for so many on the team.
Is he a clear cut/carry the team/drag them into a fight guy? No.
What he is though is an upper end, goal scorer who has vastly improved his 200' game and a guy that is on a fairly normal path to playing in his prime. He is someone you need to help a team become a winning one and is only 26 years old.
Many want him traded...because.
That's fine as long as he brings an upgrade on his position...which I highly doubt is available. Because at that point you are talking about a group of maybe 15-20 guys in the entire league and its pretty unlikely the teams with those guys are very anxious to get rid of them.
