I could not disagree more.
Since his demotion
16 games
CF% - 59.60 (4th among forwards behind the Backlund line)
SF% - 62.96% (2nd among forwards)
xGA - 4.93 (lowest on the team)
xGF% - 54.7%
HDCF% - 51.06% (4th among forwards behind the Backlund line)
On ice SH% - 4.71% (lowest of any forward)
This kid is literally doing everything that is asked of him this season, and single handedly turned that 4th line around.
