I don’t have any issue with hoping for a bounce back year. His offence is a black hole which really sucks but it’s his defence that is truly atrocious and will kill any chance of winning another playoff series if he takes a regular shift in it.
Pretty hard not to point directly at him in game 4 against the Avs.
