I just don't see this invisible stuff (ha!)
He's the high guy on a line with two burners that get in on the F1/F2 consistently. The line has had great metrics through two games which is huge because the team is loading up line one.
On the powerplay he's been great retrieving loose pucks letting them keep the pressure on for most of the two minutes often against the Ducks.
His underlying numbers are great, and he's started the season playing way more physically.
I honestly think people saying invisible (no disrespect to you) may actually mean they can't find him on the score sheet, because things are going fine on the ice from my expectation vantage point.
