The biggest change for Hamonic is playing with a new partner, the highly skilled Hanafin.
Sure sometimes players "need time", but it likely more simply randomness than anything else. He got off to a poor start, and lost some premium ice time, which simply makes it harder to contribute point wise. He'll eventually contribute more, but it's also possible his age regression has simply started earlier than expected.
I doubt it's got anything to do with being "comfortable".
