Joakim Nordstrom had a breakout season in 2015-16 alongside Jordan Staal and Andrej Nestrasil, finding the back of the net ten times and fitting into a role as middle-six player on that line.
This season, we saw him go back to Earth, and barring some incredible change in his play, we likely know exactly what to expect from him going forward.
His possession numbers were fine, his defensive play was good, and although his goal share wasn't anything to be impressed with, one would have to think that he wasn't helped much by the play of Jay McClement at even strength for 80% of the season and losing Viktor Stalberg from that fourth line at the trade deadline also didn’t help matters for him.
