People are so consumed with hate because of his contract, but lets not act like Helm hasn't been an important key player on the team. Helm has stepped up his game and can't/won't/refuse to accept he stepped up his game.
If Tatar had half the heart as Darren Helm, the Wings would be a much better team. But he doesn't. Mantha has been unimpressive other than a nice pass to Z, but otherwise flat. Nyquist is streaky and often looks disconnected. Zetterberg is out of his prime. Larkin looks human 'off'. Helm has been one of DRWs most consistent and better forwards. Even when he's not potting goals, he's out there playing 100% each and every shift. Too bad other players don't take notice and up their compete level.... (looking at you Mantha and Dylan Larkin and Tatar)
Wings team stats as of 11/17
Goals per game: 21st
Goals against per game: 19th
Power Play: 15th
Penalty kill: 27th
Maybe Helm is doing a lot, but it has no effect on whether the Wings are a good team.
Mediocre players just don't move the needle when almost every player on the roster is mediocre.
