Well I'm glad someone finally realized that taking a player whose best assets, by far, are his defensive decision making and anticipation, and putting him in the position that utilizes those assets the least was a poor choice. Then you add the fact that this player struggles to generate offensive for himself and it compounds into a line where the centre is weak defensively, and one of the wingers is weak offensively, and shockingly things don't work out.
Play players to their strengths, not weaknesses. Rocket appliances.
