he's definitely gotten more points since he's seeing top line time.
i think the thing still lacking from his game is physicality. so often he just coasts in towards someone and brushes them. during the preseason and first couple games, he really stepped up and played physical. but he seems to have regressed back into last seasons ways. i just don't see him as a big power forward type if he can't play the physical game.
his offensive skills are improved and he plays a lot better with the puck. last year, too often it seemed as if the puck played him. and as i said this year, he is getting on the score sheet. late last season he saw lots of shifts with kolanos, and even then couldn't score. so i had some doubts if he would pull it together.
overall, i would say better, but still a long way to go.
