His 18 points in 30 games was second in the team behind only Toffoli (19) and would have ranked T-31st in the NHL.
He produced like a 1st liner for the final third of the season and was still playing better defensively - he had actually started to figure out how to produce while still playing how Sutter wanted him to play. The problem was his Powerplay production was terrible, more because of usage though and being used on the 2nd unit.

I see he improved, and you could see his points per game improve as the season went on.
T-31st in the NHL in the last 30 games for PPG 5v5.
Is that worth $10.5MM per season for 8 more years in today's NHL?
