I always hate forwards on the point unless they have an elite shot. And even when it was Kovy I still wasn't fond of it.

Amen! You don't need to blast a million miles an hour to be effective. (Although in Gelinas case it did help). You need to be able to get the puck to the net from out high, keep it in, and be able to stop shorthand breaks.
With forwards on the ice at the point, a 2-2 is advantage short-handed team.
