Seriously.
Everyone was on the hype train (including myself) in 2011. He looked like he could be a great third line centre - offensively, defensively and physically. In the 2011-12 season, he had 11 goals in his first 38 games. That was amazing production for his role as the third line centre. Everybody had high hopes for him.
The struggles started. He finished the year with only 14 goals - three in the final 44 games to end the year. He did not score in the seven game series against the Rangers, either. In fact, he missed a gimme.
Last season he once again disappointed, with only four goals in 48 games. He scored one goal in the ten playoff games.
The offense isn't there, clearly. The defense is alright, although he takes a ton of bad penalties.
He's become a momentum killer for Ottawa, and isn't putting up the offense to compensate for it. Every shot is right into the goalies chest.
