His goal total being lower than others is partially because of low 5v5 time, low PP time, and being on joke PP units. Not to mention being wasted in the bottom six for months of 2017-2018. It'd be incredibly foolish to judge by raw goal totals. Although I love 25 goals being the cutoff when he's hit 24 twice.
Feels like the "Coots has never breaken 40 points" argument redux.
