He gets frustrated way too easily on the ice.
In his first year he was able to beat the goaltenders with the same move, second year goalies figured him out, was snake-bitten for the longest time. This year he seemed to focus more on his defensive game after much criticism, could be part of the reason for his offensive output being so low.
Also he didn't have much of a supporting cast in Sudbury. Seemed to be on a different line every other game. The entire team was too slow for him, the kid can go end to end and burn past everyone but his teammates are still at the red-line.
Look at his stats at international events, give him some teammates who can keep up with him and you will get a totally different player.
