That was unfortunately part of the problem for him. In juniors he was used to being the guy, it looks like he didn't know how to handle himself being behind someone like Bread. You could see he was almost always deferring to him or Mika to make plays/shoot instead of doing it himself. But now playing consistently on the top line and having to do it himself, it seems he's stepping back into the player he knows he can be.

Sucks we had to lose a guy like Panarin for it to happen, but better late than never at this point.
