Is anyone else out there starting to get concerned about Hornqvist?
Here are a few facts:
0 points in his last 14 games
1 goal in his last 19 games
Quite simply - his game has fallen off a dramatic cliff as of late and he simply is not producing. With a handsome $5.3M long term contract and ample opportunities to play with superstar linemates, this level of mediocre production is simply unacceptable.
Besides the score sheet, it seems like he is getting physically outmatched in just about every game. He is losing tons of 50/50 puck battles and is generally just getting manhandled out there by opposing teams. Perhaps his "rough and tumble" style of play is catching up to him?
I must say that I am concerned... extremely concerned about his future as a Penguin. If he continues to play at this mediocre level, this contract could be a real albatross in the coming years.
