the guy had an awful start to the year and the questions of his play in his own zone were well deserved.
6 pts / 19 games / -7 / 1 ppp
since....
33 pts / 41 games / +10 / 11 ppp
totally different player. can understand that new coaches, new systems, new partner might have had to do with it....but the criticism was deserved as is the commendation now. hopefully, he keeps playing like a stud.
