I can't help you understand the player's value. Your opinion differs from every coach he's had ... and he's had a plenty. He's 83 percentile skating distance (like every year). Conditioning is not an issue. Always well above a net positive takeaway giveaway ratio because he is smart, efficient with the puck. A trait even more valuable in the playoffs. NHL EDGE Puck and Player Tracking Statistics - SkatersHe has scored more than 20 5 times in his career. Not really perennial. He has only scored more than 15 5v5 goals once in his career. He is what he is- a complimentary winger who specializes on special teams.
The training with his brother is a fair comment. He hasn’t shown he can win puck battles any better than he did when he was younger. He can’t drive his own line and isn’t a 5v5 scorer. Like I said- complimentary winger
Yeah, that was an audible oof from me. Dangerous play there.Henrique boarded. No call.

Plays all situations. Solid contract and slides into utility player between centre and forward to help the team win hockey games. His utility is a valuable asset for this team and as his ability to check his ego. Compete level is just fine and any comment about not winning puck battles is likely confirmation bias. Weak take.
Just not a good passer, never was. Exceptional skater.I used to stick up for Nurse but his defensive game is as bad as his 1st couple of seasons always hemmed in and struggles to clear
Oilers and Canucks would both have 105 points in that case but the Oilers would be in first due to having played one less game that is if they win both games…Can Jack stop talking about us taking the lead in the division? Even if we win tonight and tomorrow night, we still won't be in the lead.

Yup, almost they are cheering in the booth and f*** up the feedJeeebus Sportsnet. Always a blip in the last few minutes of the game. Anyone else get that?
