There are enough valid criticisms why must we make up other ones?

For what he was, yeah he was a solid player. Big body, fluid skater, soft hands. Hell, he had a better ppg as a Flame than Sam Bennett. His final season looked like a 20 goal/50 point season if he didn’t miss so many games.
Also, a back injury and a really bad concussion is what ended his career. Not because he was a bad player. Last I checked (posted on CP actually), he could only do light workouts because of bad post concussion syndrome. Had he re-signed with the Flames, maybe his career turns out completely differently.
