He came in and was reasonably productive right away.

People often forget that. Despite not being a Calder finalist, he was the rookie goal scoring leader and tied with Huberdeau for the most points. He had a better goals and points per game than 3 recent Oilers high profile rookies in Hall, Eberle, and Paajarvi, and with quite a bit less ice time than those 3.
He actually had a pretty good rookie year. Looked a little rough around the edges, but there certainly was reason for optimism - there was no reason to believe that his rookie season would be BY FAR his most productive. After a 29 goal pace rookie season, his best after that was 14. After a 53 point pace rookie season, his best afterwards was 33.
By any measure, he was an NHL player during his rookie season. Then all of a sudden, not so much. Sure the player should shoulder some (a lot) of the blame, but it's clear to me that there is more than enough blame to go around.
