Not liking recent developments concerning our boy over in Russia. Not sure if he’s just sick of Rotenberg and has decided to mail it in, or if he’s hit a wall because of the grind of the season. Either way, it isn’t good.
Before when Rotenberg drastically cut his TOI, he was still playing good - hustling, working hard, generating chances left and right in the time he got. That no longer seems to be the case.
It’s a shame too because it was really looking like he was going to end up with 60+ points and head into the playoffs on a tear. Now, you wonder if he’ll even get a single additional point in the remainder of the season, and the way things are going, Rotenberg has the excuse to just bench him or scratch him for the playoffs - it wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
