<Insert player name that has regressed> was never that good because he's no longer good.
I agree with the Ciccio1980.
But, was he good in Montreal ... YES! (some will debate his Norris, and I thought Ryan Suter would get it).
He came in the playoffs in 2010 and was good until he met guys like Chris Pronger. Then he couldn't drive the play "like" Bobby Orr all the time. He was productive, exciting to watch for his whole tenure with the Habs.
Still, he hasn't adapted him game. He liked to carry the puck too much. He looks slow now, especially with the NHL being faster than ever. With the game being so fast, you got to use your teammates and PK would do too much of his own. His head seems a LOT in many other areas than hockey.
It was "sad" seeing Suzuki work him in the corners and PK wasn't able to defend. I notice twice, clearly. Something is off with PK and I think he did not get ready for the upcoming season, thinking things were going to be a piece of cake!
