But I mean...he's 22 years old! What am I missing here? I am far from a leafs fan, and although I own him in fantasy I am almost looking for a reason not to keep him at this point as I have a bunch of other guys lined up in his place.

But yeah...22 years old?

You're not missing anything. My advice to you is don't take advice on Leafs players....it will just serve to confuse the matter. If you're waiting on some consensus to tell you he's a PPG player then forget it, he could do it for three years in a row and Leafs haters would tell you he still sucks.
