He's not great at board battles sometimes.
Sometimes he gets a little panicky with the puck.
But he can score.
I mean, even with his limited ice time and limited opportunities, he's scoring 15 to 20 goals.
So that's an NHL player.
There are 700 NHL players or whatever, 350.
360 NHL forwards.
He's clearly good enough to be one of those.
So, yes, he's an NHL player.
I just wonder, though, if you were to expand his opportunities, I'm not sure it'd be a linear progression in points in production.
Like, you know, 50% more ice time.
I'm not sure there's 50% more points in there.
I don't know if he has that.
That sort of consistency.
And, oh, as you know, playing the other team's best lines, playing top six minutes against better pairings and different matchups, it's a different existence.
It's just harder.
It's trickier to do.
So, again, I don't know if he thrives in that situation either.
But he can be a valuable guy.
Down your lineup, they chip in 12, 15, 17, largely five-on-five goals.
