He's not performed to par, but i'm confident that he hasn't forgot how to play hockey after knocking on the door of 100 points for years and then blowing by it. I'm not happy with where he's at, but i'm also understanding of what sutter does to players (check out star player point declines in la under sutter) and confident that he'll be a ppg player at minimum going forward in seasons.

This idea that he's now a solidified 60-70 point player, going forward is so stupid and reactionary, imo.

this.
