Agreed.
However, he's trying too hard to be in the right position instead of trying to dictate the play. He needs something to shake him up. A healthy scratch would likely be a big wake up call for him.
However, if he's playing through a bad back, I can forgive it a little, but he still shows what he can do in spurts and then disappears. I don't remember a single positive thing he did tonight, just for example. It's hard to know what to think about him right now, but either way, I'm not happy about it.
8 points in 21 games, and a -11. That's 3rd line center stats at best.
Also, he has just 1 PPG on the year, a stat that is very alarming past the 20 game mark.
