Perhaps he has turned a corner as certainly he looked much different in the playoffs. But that’s a small sample size. Good players are good players because they do it consistently
Nothing brutal about that
His use of his linemates has been fine when he has linemates that are actually NHL calibre players. Go back and look at his junior play and his rookie year, he is a pretty smart player when he has decent talent to play with. He has been mishandled badly by this organization imo. You can't make a judgement a player can't play top 6 C if he has never been given the opportunity to do so. Saying he can't do it was the part that was a brutal take to me. We don't know and we won't unless he gets an actual look there. Not a shift or two or half a game, an actual look.
