Absolutely agree...see it all the time with players having to play above their role...I don’t think he’s been that bad. Just playing up past his skill level. He’s not a top 6 player. Playing in the top 6 vs top 6 opposition makes him look bad.
I’d like to see him as a 4th line pest. For a smaller guy he can be tough to play against.
Put him on the third line next to Dickinson next year
He’s not a top six guy right now or close really
