Take a step back though, consistently, his line carries the play forward, same as last year. Doesn't matter who his line-mates are, the play progresses towards the other teams net. Top line, second line, 3rd line, always moving forward. Perhaps the best spot for him is 3rd/4th but increase their minutes! Play the superstars less so they have more to give when they're on.
To me he falls almost into the same category as Nuge did last year. What did he get, something absurd like 23 assists before getting a goal? I remember he said in an interview he wasn't sure if he was in a slump or not.
Just because you're not the one putting the puck in the net doesn't mean you're not effective. Maybe he shouldn't be a top line winger, but mid 6 reliably for sure. Especially second line if you shuffle Leon up to Connor.

Good post. Many 3rd liners carve out long prosperous careers. I feel JP can still be that guy.
It won’t happen here though. There’s a bit of blood on everyone’s hands imo.
I think Jesse needed better advice outside the Oilers. I think Jesse needed a bit more support inside the Oilers. (I’m not talking about ice time) These interviews have helped nobody. I believe a portion of JP’s expectations come from poor guidance.

FWIW I've been pretty happy with JP's play this season. He's great at forcing turnovers and keeping the puck in the zone. Seems to have added a bit of chippiness to his game too, which I attribute to Kane mentoring him a bit.
Yeah the points haven't been coming for him, which gives certain journalists their talking points about how he "needs to be better" but we have scored a ton of goals this year as a result of him turning the puck over or keeping the play alive. He's not getting the assist, as there have been too many others making the passes, but they would never have had the puck to make those passes had it not been for his hard work retrieving the puck in the first place.
He's been absolutely robbed by lights out saves on several of his shot attempts too.

This is what I see as well, but unfortunately some morons in the local media are doing their best to push him out of town. He is probably a bit overpaid for his current production, but I think the points will come more often in the remainder of the season (he has been absolutely robbed at least 4 times that I have seen this year, so he is getting chances).
