Regardless, his play making is definitely missed.

He absolutely was a gamebreaker. Maybe not a McDavid video game cheat, but how many times did he put the offence on his back and take over a game? Quite regularly. A player quick of the transition, could make a big play and the puck would be in the opponents net in a matter of seconds. He was as close to a gamebreaker as any in the NHL.
I get that there's a lot of hate for him now and obviously in the playoffs that was a lot less , but he absolutely was during the regular season.
