Don't get me wrong, he is an extremely talented player, and when he is "on," he controls games. But his frame and injury history, and the way he unraveled this year have me thinking that he will never be the player the Canucks were projecting in 2019.

I agree he was worse than his actual points. So was Quinn Hughes for that matter. His defence, never great, became even worse, although I think that's because of not having Tanev to protect him.
Hard to know if the injury affected him, it was likely a lost year for him.
It will be interesting to see if he responds positively this year.
Monny and Johnny were in the same boat to some degree last year. I think Johnny righted the ship after they moved Monny off his line. Monny did not.
