Maybe strange to you but it's what i see when I've watched him since entering the NHL. Has he ever really taken over and been the preeminent player like Crosby, McDavid, McKinnon or heck Pastarnak? No, because he's, pun intended, just skating by. It's a lot like the Sabres organization, doing just enough to get by.Mediocrity reigns.
Like i said, just my opinion, I think he's a Lollygagger.
