I don't think that's game-plannable.
I think it's plainly obvious that the production isn't there because the effort isn't there because the joy isn't there. I get that everyone views the game differently, but that's what I see.
Barring injury I think it's excellent odds that gaudrwaus first season away from Calgary, whenever that is, is point per game plus.

So you think it’s more likely that he isn’t producing because of his mood over the possibility that teams have figured out how to defend him?
I find his play to be highly predictable and therefore easy to game plan
