I’m impatient, sorry.

Both things can be true.

He spent a lot of his time here pre-Tocchet being a bozo. It's clear that previous management created a shit hole environment which didn't mix well with JT's immaturity. McCann is another example of a player that could have thrived here eventually had functioning adults been in charge instead.

But since Tocchet he's mostly taken the bad out of his game and has been a beast for us consistently, a driving force. Yeah he makes some dumb passes sometimes but look around the league, all top players that are counted on to have the puck often and make big plays do dumb stuff once in a while.

I'm more concerned about what he's doing right now, which is playing like a legit 1C on a good team for a modest cap hit relative to his production. That's why he's gone from bozo to fan favorite.

The 'since Tocchet' talk really underrates how good JT was under both Green and Bruce. JT's 1st season here saw him lead the team in scoring, both season and playoffs. He drove the lotto line, and completely changed the way the team could play.

His 3rd season here was as much of a 1 man show as I've seen. Completely lapped his teammates. If that team makes the playoffs, he gets outside hart votes. That was a bottom 10 team in the league for both goals for, and against. It wasn't some pond hockey like people like to pretend.

JT and Hughes have been consistently high end from the start, so long as they're here, we have a chance.
