He's been playing largely with a veteran and another developing winger most of the time so he's not going to get a lot of gift assists or goals. He will get better as the talent around him does but I wouldn't be surprised if he's a little flat next season placed with higher expectations.

Exactly my point. I'm tempering my expectations for the kid next year. He's been very good this season, but I suspect he'll struggle a bit more next season.
