He's arguably the only 1st line forward on the flames playing with significantly weaker linemates the last two years, anybody buying him will be betting that his performance rebounds to historical levels playing on a better team.

I wouldn't call it a hit piece. I agree with him for the most part. I'm sure he will help any cup contending team in the playoffs as quality depth but I'm not sure he's going to be a big difference maker for any team. He's a good player, not a great player.
