I said he’s entering that “elite” conversation, and I believe he is.
He’s scoring even strength goals at an elite level, and he’s playing an impressive two way game while also penalty killing quite well.
Using “he’s never scored 20” as a point of conversation…he scored 18 goals in 56 games and 17 goals in 68 games the year before that.
More time, and his bigger role he’ll go from entering the conversation to being the topic of it.
