His point totals would be a lot better if there were better finishers on the team and if the powerplay used him better. His better season last year was with Kadri. This season he has Frost, who is getting better but is not Kadri.
He’s been OK in December - 7 points in 9 games. He’s had 3 mini-slumps (2 in Nov) which is basically the issue. But he seems to be past that now.

When the best you can say about a player is that he is good in the locker room, you know his production is quite poor.
His production has dropped into the 40's now, notwithstanding his premium ice time.
The PP is poor. He's one of the reasons for it.
His linemates points would be better if he was better also.
Calgary has a bunch of players who are basically 45 point players. Even though they are getting good ice time and PP time. That's a recipe of a bad team.
