He's on pace for a career high in goals and close to career low in assists which kind of illustrates where the Flames are vs the Panthers team he played on. In Florida he had plenty of shooters to distribute to and in Calgary he's finally realized he's going to have to do more of the scoring himself. If you can get 30+ goals out of him it certainly lessens the sting of the contract. Hopefully he's got five years of play like this left in him.
