It's difficult to sugarcoat things when analyzing the current state of his overall game.
He's struggling to play to an identity.
At his best, in the past, when he bordered on impacting the game as a pest who produced offense. At this stage he isn't nearly involved enough or competing hard enough up and down the ice. There's no doubt he's a better player than he is showing. He's slumping.
To start the season he's averaging 17:47 TOI - 14:25 ES - 3:17 PP - 0:04 PK
He's only produced one assist and he's an early (-10) after ending last season a team worst (-19)
Two bright lights are the fact he is winning 54% of his draws and he's directing pucks on net (23 SOG in first 8GP).
He's clearly frustrated.
