But he also seems kinda high-maintenance. Like conditions, linemates, etc. have to be just right for him to produce. He was sulky at the end of last season and he looks sulky again this season.
Most baffling, he’s in a contract year for what will likely be his biggest contract, and he looks checked out. I don’t get it.

Yeah it's weird. I don't know if he's checked out (seems like a dumb thing to do in a contract year) more than he's just struggling like some of the other forwards. He's definitely a guy that needs to be paired with an elite talent on the wing to get the most out of him as he's not one of those centers that elevates his linemates. Also he's always been a guy that doesn't wow you with flash but the way things are going certainly isn't ideal for him or the team as I just can't see how any team scouting him would be thinking that they need to lock him up for 7 years. Hopefully the Flames can go on a bit of a run and he starts to get better results.
