I don't think he's been anywhere near as bad as the average fan is suggesting.
Production cut in half, and that hurts the team. So as an absolute, easily an issue.
But not sure I agree on him dogging it or mailing it in at all.

I think he was pretty bad for the first 30 or 40 games, but his play has been absolutely fine for quite a while now - still isn't scoring, as he's having an off year, production-wise, but he has righted the ship otherwise.
But early in the season, when they were trying to figure out lines, and get the team going, he was bad.
