He was shit in the first round but ever since he's been our best forward , at time even the best player. He was tied in points with Miro in the series against the Avs with 9 IRC .
Not even close to our best player I would hesitate to call him or best forward except for maybe 1-2games. He's been better lately but throwing a few hits and picking up some points doesn't make up for everything else he does (laziness, turnovers, dumb passes, etc)
I would put all of Faksa, Pavelski, Comeau, and Kiviranta ahead of him in pretty much any given game with pavelski haven fallen off a bit lately.
As far as best player its almost always been one of
Miro, Klingberg, Lindell, khudobin
