<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Forget the scandal. What has he done to be worth a second? I saw someone saying earlier he should be traded for kerfoot and a second then signed for 3 mil (so not much cap savings). He had 18 g and 32 points. That's solid but it's not remarkable</div></div>

Damn, I would never trade him for Kerfoot and a 2nd. Heck, I would not trade him for a mid 1st round pick.

Did you know for example that he was clocked as the 2nd fastest player in the league behind McDavid? His speed is truly elite and it creates havoc all over the place. He's already very good defensively, a beast on the PK and has a mean streak. Plus, a really nice asset to have for 3 on 3 overtime.

He was 22 y/o last season, his rookie year. He scored 18 goals yes but ZERO were on the PP

Do you know for example that only 75 forwards scored more than 18 ES goals?

And it's not like he played with the best players. Sure Stutzle will be great but he was 19 y/o when Forms played with him. Outside of that, he played with Brown, Paul, Gaudette, Tierney and all the depth forwards

Oh and he also LEAD the league in SH goals (5)... I mean, he's a very good candidate to finish top-5/10 in SH goals in NHL HISTORY. He just has to stay healthy (or not be guilty of a crime of course)

Anyway, for people who have followed him for years, he's so much more than a "<em>solid but not remarkable 18 g and 32 points guy</em>"

Evaluating players through hockeydb.com is just a bad idea.
