    Hey guys, does anyone else feel like this guy is a touch quite this year? Anyone have a crystal ball and wants to tell me if he's going to pick it up and turn into his usual fantastic fantasy form?

    Didn’t he have a super slow start last year and then go on a fantastic run? I’d be patient

    Yeah, super slow start last year and then insane production, I'd recommend patience as well.

    Two guys you never want to discount after slow starts, Zibs and Fiala.

    Last year he did have a slow start, but the assumption there was because he had COVID to start the seasons and needed more time to get back into form. Are people saying he’s perpetually the type of guy that will start slow? As recent as 2 years ago, I don’t remember him being a start slow guy.

    There was also a mention of him in the ramblings a few weeks ago that said he’s struggles this year might be more due to the loss of Buchnevich. Buch was/is the type of player who could drive play through the neutral zone and distribute to Zibs in the offensive zone. The ramblings said not to underestimate the impact of him not longer being on Zibs line.

    Well I mean he has 15 points in 18 games to start this season, so that’s not even really a slow start. I don’t see the issue with him

    My crystal ball says he's doing better than last year at the same time of year. But I gotta take it in for repairs it also predicted the Leafs will win the cup this year so....
