As you like to point out....slotting.
I do expect more than he has shown, no question. Spurts of really really good hockey in between lengthy stretches of "meh to awful" just isn't good enough.
I do think its time though that fans, and the club accept the reality of things.
That means essentially...he is the 8th best F on the club. Which i do not necessarily disagree with, but a spot on the team that could be improved on, especially at the price point.
I really really hope so. The only question is....how long do you wait for it to happen before trying to find someone who can?

You give it a look, give it maybe 3-4 shifts.
Then send him back and try again in 10-20 games, give him another few shifts.
