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".
Hamonic was playing with Brodie last year. Whatever Brodie's issues, 'lack of skill' isn't one of them.

You can say it doesn't have anything to do with being comfortable. Maybe that's the wrong word, but I don't think it is.

Neal looked absolutely lost for much of the first half. He was way behind the play, he wasn't in dangerous areas, he wasn't good defensively. He was Troy Brouwer with a snap shot.

He's not that, at least not now.
