He's going from being an elite complimentary star who knows he owes his linemates a great deal for boosting him to a situation where he's going to have guys leeching off of him. Don't get me wrong, I think he will do well but his scoring totals are going to take a hit for sure IMO. Even if the top line came back this year, it's unlikely they would get higher than 85% of last year. A year where everything went right playing with stars to a situation where everything won't go right and he's playing with lesser complimentary types instead
