I tend to agree. You can't ignore how well he played for 2/3 of the season and the guy has been a consistent 27-30 goal scorer entering the league. There's little doubt to me this was more than a slump and something behind the scenes was affecting his play which probably means it's not going to be something that's overly repeatable. All of that said it's also obvious he has some areas of his game he needs to work on so when he's not scoring he's not a liability. I'm still of the belief he is part of the solution.
