Doesn't have to do what the rest of the pros have to. As a result he may have plateaued a bit in what he can do offensively.
Probably a rough summer with his dad's health problems, but I think he has looked sluggish all preseason and was one of the worst skaters on the ice last night.
Highest paid forward on the roster, expectations should be high.

Did you even watch the game last night? He was dancing through the Canucks all night and his line was the most dangerous line on both teams. There’s a reason the coach double shifted him and played him 23 minutes last night.
If there’s one player on this team that should get a free pass from time to time, it’s him, because this team relies so heavily on him just to win games. He enerated 40% of the team’s total offense virtually all of last season, in wins last season he put up 57 points and in losses he scored 27 points. Most of our winning streaks also coincided with his scoring streaks as well. Face it, where he goes, our team goes.
