He'll be fine unless there was some major injury we don't know about. He's very streaky --- in SJ, he sometimes disappeared for months at a time only to turn it up.
NHL Edge does such a terrible job presenting its data. All those numbers on the NHL Edge website are cumulative and do no adjustments for games played or ice time, so it makes all the players who have missed time due to injury look worse in these metrics than they actually are. If you adjust for minutes played, he is pretty much on track to have the same number speed bursts as he did last season.Yes, this happens literally every year. Nico was playing injured to start the season. Jack has played injured through parts of multiple seasons. Dougie played with a significant foot injury his first season in NJ and through a hand injury in the playoffs.
I wonder why he’s not moving as well as last year? Probably nothing to do with injury and it’s some bullshit you made up about how he fits on the team.

I thought you add nothing more to add? hahahahaha
re-stating a false narrative is literally adding nothing. So congrats.

Not saying he's not injured, just that the edge data doesn't indicate that he is moving worse out there than his usual.
Sorry to hear that's your truth. But yes people leave jobs for better jobs, more pay, better locations and all sorts of other reasons all the time.You are implying this happens to regular people all the time when it couldn't be further from the truth.
Nope. His speed is way down.
Top skating speed went from 73rd percentile to 57th percentile. Top shot speed went from 84th percentile to below 50th. Very obviously not the same player, by watching or statistically.Again... that doesn't show that his speed is down. Like I said before, those stats are percentiles based on the raw number of speed bursts, he has played 7 less games than other players which means he has had less chances to rack up those 18-20, 20-22 bursts which will obviously drop him in those percentiles, moreover, he is also playing about 3 mins less per game than in SJ thus further reducing the opportunities. If you normalize those number to the icetime, there is pretty much no difference for him between this and last season.
Lol, definitely not.If he doesn't perform as expected soon, this contract is enough to eliminate the Devils chance to become a contender. What a disaster. Gave up so much too.
Trouba concussed the guy back to Narnia last playoffs he's never gonna be the same.

Hatakka was about the only player that wasn’t just a contract slot. I think he has done decent with Utica but he is likely nothing more than a defensive #6/7 if things go right. Sharks fans used to be high in him from his wjc performanceHave any of the random players the Devils acquired turned into something interesting, or just what you expect ?
How’s he been playing ?And just like that, hes back on fire. Streaky player is incredibly streaky.
5 points in his Last 3 games, goal in 3 straight
He's noticeably quicker. I don't think he's fully there yet, but much more engaged. The Devils as a whole are playing like trash though, so tough to tell right now.How’s he been playing ?
