Deserves linemates who can keep up
Luckily he plays special teams
You ask any Flame at the beginning of the season I guarantee no one had Toffoli as our leading scorer with a dozen games left in the season.
I don't know how he did it, but the guy performed this year when everyone else was mediocre/faltered.
He's just a good player. He's not an amazing player. But he's a good player. He gets a good amount of scoring chances and despite lots of posts and bad puck luck, he always shoots and sometimes those shots are going to go in. He also might not be the best skater, but he works his ass off and the effort is there.You ask any Flame at the beginning of the season I guarantee no one had Toffoli as our leading scorer with a dozen games left in the season.

I think a big part of it was the new team adjustment and he really didn't seem to find a line he clicked with. And since Tkachuk/Lindholm/Gaudreau were stapled he never got a chance to play with our best players. Which for a goal scorer is kinda a death sentenceI think at the same time there is a marked difference in how he is moving at the moment compared to this time last year. I really think something wasn't right health-wise, because last year on a very good team he was in full coast-mode and only really got chances when the puck happened to find him. Right now he's skating powerfully and driving play.
I was pretty fed up with him last year in the playoffs, but right now I'm super impressed and glad he's on the squad.
