Last season, he spent significant time in the 2C role for Pittsburgh and again, delivered offensively, posting a respectable 18 goals and 19 assists.
Actually, he had a pretty disappointing season last year. He really didn't produce as much as the Pens would have hoped and lost the chemistry which HBK were once known for. Not sure I can agree with the statement that he spent significant time in the 2C role for pittsburgh and he definitely did not deliver offensively as hoped.
