Artemi Panarin often gets a pass because he’s tied for the Columbus Blue Jackets team lead in points, however his play has been below standard lately.
He’s been taking longer shifts than the coaching staff seemingly wants him to, he’s turning over the puck on the rush constantly and holding onto the puck when he clearly should pass it off. He may lead the team in assists however without Cam Atkinson‘s scoring touch, Panarin would have very few points this season.
Panarin many times seems like he’s interested in showing off and attempting to increase his personal stock rather than put the team in a position to win.
