But he's doing what he can.
Is he worth the money? No.
But the level of drive by hatred for the guy is just ugly. Can't we just agree he's not the same guy and hope he develops a different type of game that will give the Flames some depth scoring and a powerplay specialist that can help make an impact going forward?
The need to bury the guy is frankly a little disturbing.

I don’t have hatred for the player. What I don’t understand are the lengths that people have gone to defend him.
Not saying he’s not trying. Not saying it’s his fault.
What he can’t be is a relied upon secondary scoring option and meaningful contributor at this point. I don’t take issue with the player when he’s deployed in the manner he has been. It’s all you can do at this point. But the expectation that he’s going to bounce back? It’s foolhardy IMO.
