In fairness, though I'm far from a fan of his these days, the latter parts of the season just gone were the best we've seen from him for a couple years.
His 12pt season of the 2015-16 season was pathetic, from 51pts in 2013-14 to 12pts in 2015-16. That's alarming and disappointing. He managed 20pts this time around, more reasonable than 12. Almost doubled his assist total on the season before.
I'm hoping the gradual upward trend continues and he has a solid season for the coming campaign. We can't just rely on Farmer to bring the points home for the Brits and Clarke, well, obviously he'll be getting inured some time around October.
Lacho went from Premier Brit to Depth Brit in amazingly quick fashion, that has to change.

This is the problem I see rare glimpses of the player he could be but mostly I see a player who looks uninterested in general and terrified of everything. He is playing like a young lad who has just come up from the youth team to play with the first team.

He's 27 for gods sake !🙄🙄

Yup he is a grown lad now he should be hitting his prime. If this is his prime his ass shouldn't be leaving the pine.

He is playing like a young lad who has just come up from the youth team to play with the first team. He plays like a guy who knows he's onto a well-numerated easy ride that all he has to do is still reasonably fit. Why bother going hard into the corners or driving the puck to the net? He could get injured, which is the only thing that'll stop the £s rolling in! Play cautiously, skate timidly, miss passes, back out of 50/50s, dodge the incoming hit on the play... still get top minutes. Good work, if you can get it! His time for getting a shot at Europe or the US is long gone, this is all he has and who can blame him when the coach is so weak.

I think he's just the type of player who doesn't think he will win the battles that you mention and I think that it stems from the fact that he isn't aggressive enough, possibly too nice. He may never have had to do the dirty work and get hurt as he came up through the juniors, due to his raw ability, so he may believe that element of the game is not where he should focus. Even when he was considered a good player it was never his agression which got him his plaudits, it was the plays he made. I'm not criticising him, I believe that it's his mentality which is letting him down

I don't mean just missing the odd game. Lacho used to get properly stuck in - in fact one of the best at coming out with the puck in a 50/50 or in the corners. He's never been a creative force, at his best he was good at supporting moves and finishing them off, not a catalyst.
