I agree, he just really needs to start getting his nose dirty shift in and shift out.
He has the potential to be a Toews-eqsue puck hound with his speed and size, but he coasts on backchecks too frequently and tries to reach around guys inside of getting inside position. He could be a really solid 50-60 point forward if he figures some things out.
While its fine to want more from players, I'm a bit confused by this? He leads team in goals is the only top 6 forward with a positive +-.
The guys 4th in the whole nhl is points per 60. Let him be what he is. A goal scorer. Put him on the ice more play him on the pp, and not sitting on the goalie. Why not let him shoot the put on the pp? He would score 40 no problem if he was treated like other goal scorers in this league. But you guys want another Matt Martin?
