Don’t be blinded by the skill. 34 isn’t the player you build a team around. You’re not raising the cup w him on your team. Absolutely no question he’s one of the most talented players in the NHL. Will go down as an all-time great goal scorer. But the difference between him and say Ovi is what’s inside. That compete level. That “do whatever it takes” mindset. Being a leader, a true leader on and off the ice. This isn’t about him as a hockey player, this is about him having the ability to be a champion. It’s damn hard to win that cup, but it’s almost impossible if you don’t have “it”. If I have to explain what “it” is, then you’ll never understand.
