The PP thing is overblown. He didn't play a lot of PP1 minutes this year, or even last year. He was mostly on PP2 last year and mostly not even on the PP for the whole middle of this year (he went on when Frolik was injured and at the end of the year).

To add to your point, his performance on the PP in 16-17 was half decent (4th in PP goals) and we ended up with a top 10 PP. So I would agree he gets far too much blame for everything that went wrong this season.
But at the end of the day, it's hard to find positives for a guy who is not only overpaid but who has seen his play deteriorate almost the day he arrived. He looks slow, can't finish and has almost zero poise. Classic whipping boy.
