by “constantly creating plays”, you mean skating around the offensive zone behind the net and then aimlessly throwing the puck net front to no one there… sure.
oh and he also has the 2nd worst xGA, only tex has worse numbers there. while he does have one of the highest xGF totals on the team (which isn’t much compared to other top line forwards across the league).. he’s been a liability in the defensive zone/when the puck isn’t on his stick. the xGA numbers that he’s posted back that statement up.
he needs to be better, period. how someone can argue against that is appalling/has super low expectations for said star player.
