Less Ovechkin/Mario, more Heatley/Yakupov. Disappointing. He has a special shot. But man he's a difficult guy to play with. I don't know why he's been on this downward trajectory for the last few years. In 2017/2018 you watched him with suspense because he could score from anywhere. Then he just stopped getting chances. Weird.
Apologies for comparing Heatley to Yakupov lol. He just reminds me of a failed star player while I forget he actually had a pretty good career all things considered.
Best 6 seasons:
Heatley = 50, 50, 41, 41, 39, 39
Iginla = 52, 50, 43, 41, 39, 35
Kovaclhuk = 52, 52, 43, 42, 41, 38
Heatley fell off a cliff around the time he turned 31 years old. And he also had the car crash that ruined his 23 year old season.
But his prime and peak was very good. He was legitimately one of the best wingers in the NHL from 2003 to 2011.
