I used to think he needed better players to think the game the way he does.
Alot of times he will make a slick little pass to an unexpecting teammate that ends up on the other teams stick for an easy goal or easy break out of their own zone.
Those look like obvious turnovers but alot of the time, if the other player anticipated the pass, it would end up in a better result most likely.
Now it seems he has no confidence to make a play because he can't trust his teammates to finish what he starts.
His defense, well that just hasn't been good in the league to date.
He is starting to get caved in on a nightly basis.
I wouldn't doubt that other teams are really going after him on each possession because they know he's a liability and have game planned for it.
