Last season was really the only year that he wasn't on pace for at least 20 goals over an 82 game season. At 27, it is not too late for him to turn it around and have a few more productive seasons.
Training camp is a poor indicator of predicting regular season production. I recall in the past, players like Fata, Saprykin and Kobasew used to tear it up during the preseason just to idle in the regular season, while players like Iginla used to mail preseason in.
