It's both.
He is visibly slow right now.

IMO, Pettersons decline is more about the decline of the Canucks organizational environment than anything. Feels pretty toxic around there.
Tough to play inspired when you went through the ringer with the media, a split dressing room and some crazy owners.

His best seasons came half under Boudreau and then what amounts to a full year under Tocchet. The single worse calendar year of Pettersson's professional career has been under Tocchet. Tocchet is 100% part of the issue. Lingering tendonitis is also a major part of it.
