In his brief bump in production in November he was getting his nose dirty and being much more of a puck hound out there. Now we're back to hot grenades and one-and-dones. He needs to be more involved physically.

Last night he was digging along the boards and corners all night long.
IMO That's actually the problem though, he's spending way too much time stapled to the boards. He's never going to be effective playing that game, they need to find a way to get him some open ice but they are anemic off the rush and don't really cheat to try to create odd man rushes at all (plus his skating has declined which hurts that too).
