Hopefully something changes for him but no one said being an NHLer was easy.
It just felt a little suspect. He was never a scorer in college or the A.

When he came up it also looked like he was going 110% every night. That's pretty hard to maintain. Most guys don't. But when you play a style that depends on the energy you provide, it's hard to justify your presence when that energy goes away.
