As a Sens fan, i totally with the analysis. I was very happy to have him from an offensive stand point, but he was frustrating to watch on most defensive plays. And since it's defense that wins championships, I was firmly on the trade-him train (since about 2015). I never thought we could win him, especially if he was in a leadership role.

The analytics dont matter if he can't stay healthy and on the ice. Since he's joined the sharks, he's played about 50 games a season, and has only played a full season 3x out of 9. Hes there to score goals, and run the point. He will succeed when his defense can be absorbed by a true defense first star (vlassic a couple years ago). Right now, hes a guy that costs a lot towards the cap, and lost draft picks.
