That’s a top-6 forward doing elite defensive work.
We’re not trading that at the deadline. We should be trying to find another player exactly like it.

Elite defensive forward who also has 10 goals? Why people are blaming him is beyond me. If you factor in what you expect from a player he might be one of few playing above that epxectation.
Kadri, Mangiapane and Dube early in the season were getting huge praise despite not being very good in their own end.
You struggle to score for a few games and the blame always goes on our best defensive players. Always seems to happen but Mangiapane is paid to score goals and PK. He's not doing much for scoring and his line often is bad in their own end.
