Same with the PP. Right now he is being given PP1 time but I don’t see that lasting a long time.
I can’t buy GioforPM’s argument that he is playing better than all the other forwards. He is quickly regressing to a worse points pace than last year.

I said he has more points than any other forward.
He also better Corsi than all except three guys. He has fewer Ozone starts than Kadri, Honzek, Sharangovich and Kuzmenko. ES G/60 Huberdeau is behind Kirkland and Coronato. He has 3.8 versus 2.1 for Zary and 1.3 for Kadri.
Zary and Sharangovich are already top 6 and get more ATOI even strength (and about the same PP) so I don't see the logjam.
