Nyquist had two narratives running last season. One was that he struggled early after a hot start on a line with Thomas Vanek and Darren Helm, and went through some awful goal-less stretches before finding his form again in the later parts of the season (or, as much form as any Wing could last year, at any rate.) The other narrative was that Nyquist was bad when he was expected to be good and then scored a bunch of meaningless points after the season was already effectively over. Personally, I believe in the narrative that suggests Nyquist is a proud professional hockey player.
