Give anyone the opportunity to play with players that can both pass the puck and receive passes, and you'll get scoring opportunities. Last year he was playing in a very defensive role and most of his points came from individual efforts because he had to do most of everything himself.
Their line this year is basically playing as the Backlund Frolik line in Calgary.
