He’s a good 2C. Number one centers need to contribute more offensively in my opinion. I don’t know why everyone acts like I’m saying he should be in the coast whenever i say he’s a good 2C. A good 2C is a very good NHL hockey player.

You've previously said that you don't think he's even a top six center.

I believe that was in an interview he did with a Czech newspaper a couple of weeks ago, but for the life of me I cannot find the link I used to the whole thing translated & it's behind a paywall. He has *definitely* indicated that he'd take less if he had confidence in the team winning.
