But overall I don't disagree. I don't think a turnaround now resets the clock back to 2014 and he becomes elite again.
Last year he stopped the skid, but you had to dig deep to see it. This year he has a coach that likes him and is awarding "jam" which has bought him time to find his confidence again.
With that said he's off probation, but he's not top six bound until he starts producing.

Hmm....I can't recall an instance in every one of the last ten games where he's executed a fantastic pass or finished off a play. There are about 6-7 of those I can actively recall but maybe I'm missing some. I can certainly recall him making a big hit or causing a turnover almost every game though.....which is something he has to do in order to continue to be effective.
For me I don't want to go back down the Centre road when he's finally found his niche. Especially when the Flames already have a bevy of players that are probably far better at that position than he is....Ride the wave and see what happens over the next 5-6 months.
