Skaters appear to have to be under contract. Goalies are eligible with a qualifying offer.
From the NHL site:
I think Maurice could potentially be a variable, but I would be highly skeptical he is the cause.
QoT is definitely a factor, because Burmistrov went from being a guy mostly with Kane, Welly, and Antro to a guy mostly with Stafford, Thorburn, and Lowry. However, it's not the cause either, as even when he used to spend time on the 4th line they would do relatively better with than without.
Could be many things: effort, substances, weird age curve, environment, mental, effort... or combination of many.
