He hasn't really been in a spot like that in the NHL since then. Of course, the playoffs are a whole different monster compared to no pressure games to round out a season...

He was a top-line mainstay in the AHL and played adequately well. He just hasn't been very effective in a couple of years now, and it was especially obvious this past season when player after player on the depth chart slipped past him.
