It’s a big combination of his play style not meshing with the team’s style, linemates not catching on to his funky passing, his self-confidence (which shows up when he gets on a roll, like in January), the powerplay not running through him for some reason, etc.
It’s not a surprise that he had more success with two guys who were new to the team.

I would agree that he displays a very positive attitude for the most part but rarely have i thought he was a hard working player at both ends of the ice.
IMO he hasn't quit on the team a la Neal or Kadri at different points. But I suspect he has more to give on the effort front and there certainly have been comments periodically from the organization to that effect.
I wonder how his fitness and practice habits compare.
