Yeah.
Cause I mean, we've talked about how good he is and how good he is for the team.
Cause when he's on his game, he,
he is a playmaker.
He does help drive.
He's such a big frame and a big body where he drives that middle area of the ice and he goes right to the front and he's a screen.
He's a bumper for, you know, playmaking, but also back in his own zone through neutral zone.
He's fine.
Um,
but I think where his game, when he's on, it really excels in his own defensive zone.
He's great with the stick taking away passing lanes, just by kind of like his positioning and also how he rotates his body on the penalty kill.
He's fantastic.
Maybe there's a little bit to be desired at the face off dot sometimes, because I think that's up and down the entire roster up until they acquired what McCarron.
And I guess now Nick Foligno who, who is winning some draws here and there, but in terms of the top two centers, I mean, he,
he gets the job done when his game is on.
And, um, I think it was incredibly noticeable just his absence earlier this season when he missed a handful of games because they, they struggled, they struggled in all, in all facets, all three areas of the ice.
Um, I think most notably in their own defensive zone.
So, um,
You got to get him going.
He is more key to have the wheels turning than Ryan Hartman, in my opinion.
