That Pats team doesn't look as strong offensively as they did last year.
I'm sure his offense will pick up soon - last year he could go quiet for a few games but then get 4-5 points in one game. He hasn't had one of those this season (he's probably due one) and if he did there wouldn't be any concern. At the very least, he's a player who is a coach's type of player and can play anywhere in the lineup. I'm still high on him. In the two years prior to this season, he matched Eberle's PPG and so I think his offensive upside is still good.
Up until last night, he had a 10 game point streak (tied for 4th best in the WHL) - so he's got the consistency down, he just needs to have one of his breakout games.
