The fact that he matched his career best goal scoring (11) this season with increased D zone deployments is a pretty good thing. I also think that the other changes in his stats point directly to his big jump in tougher D-zone deployments moreso than some eyeball test of decline in his play.

He basically had to take over Tanev’s role without being Tanev.
