Also as AC mentioned he is 26. He's not a mirage, he has had a similar career for Sens fans as Gaudreau has to us, although he's got a tendency to get injured.



Yes, though I wouldn't call him a power forward in the Jamie Benn sense. He's a similar player to Matthew Tkachuk but less of a pest. IMO You could almost say he's a winger version of Ryan Getzlaf.
Since 2014-2015 Mark Stone also leads the league in takeaways with 466 in 341 games.

2. Jeff Skinner has 342 in 377 games
3. Ryan O'Reilly has 331 in 362 games
4. John Tavares has 313 in 376 games
5. Mikael Backlund has 301 in 350 games

He's considered a defensive beast in that regard at least, and also dangerous offensively. Though I was surprised to see he's never hit 30 goals in a season (he will finally this year by the looks of it).
