Sports is about adjusting and readjusting
Can Johnny do that?

I'd add to that a bit ...
1. Teams have figured out Johnny
2. The rest of that line is still trying to funnel pucks to him as the engine
3. He hasn't adjusted
4. He's gone inward and is really frustrated
5. This has nuked his individual skill completely
Steinberg said yesterday that they need to shelter him to get him going ... tough on the road, but a solid way to start. Get him thinking he can dictate again, then up his responsibilities.
