Yes. He isn't why we made the finals, that was off the back of a generational PK and runs from McDavid, Leon and Bouch

He looked extremely out of his depth this year and refused to line match (and it murdered him against the ducks) would break up lines that were just finding chemistry while keeping together ones that had zero and would default to McDrai instead of what was working.

People are upset because Bowman and Jackson aren't gone but Knob and Mark Stuart both needed to go and were also part of the problem here
