On that Oilers shorty, he tried to go behind the net with the puck but lost it to Yamamoto and immediately panic and didn't know what to do and allow Yamamot so much time to pass it to Drai. I pains me greatly to see a once upon a time promising Dman turned into that because of injuries.

My take. He’s completely lost his confidence.
He’s a perfect candidate for a fresh start somewhere else. I think it will happen sooner or later.
