The point being. he is a finisher, He needs the puck with another threat so he’s not triple teamed at all times.

I don’t think he’s being paid too much, teams are just more aware of him. So they key in on him.

This is probably the 15th time this has been said in this thread too. I’m seriously done with this thread. there are far too many idiots that know everything about hockey here…
