Expectations were " a bit " too high for him, which is pretty understandable since everyone is looking for the next saviour for this team. Kid is a rookie, they grow at different paces all the time and itīs hard to know when they bloom.
Not at all worried about him and I think he should be given 2nd/3rd line icetime. Itīs not like there is a queue of people who are outperforming him and deserve that spot more. Playing fourth line minutes- meh. Rather send him to AHL and let him play more.
