He’s hit a plateau — what got him to this point is not good enough to keep him in the lineup right now. He has size, decent speed, and some offensive finish, but is not getting himself to where he needs to be on either end of the ice. His PK scoring masked some of his 5-on-5 shortcomings last year, but his line was clearly surpassed by Ryan’s line last year and he’s done nothing to change that this year.
