14 goals in 47 games with Anaheim.
a very streaky 14 goals. If I remember correctly, he also went a month without scoring a goal sometime around the all-star break and finished the season with a similar streak.
For a 22 year old in his first full pro season isn't awful. His hairline how ever...
his hairline never had a chance

I don't think there's a non-streaky goal scorer in the league...no one is scoring 50, 60, goals any more really...so that's the nature of it. Plus, Anaheim was just about the worst offense in the league last year probably, they got no production from anyone...14 goals is probably pretty high on their list I'd guess...

What was the reason for him getting scratched? They were a hopeless team eventually. Why not let him work out his kinks on the ice? Or was it a training exercise?

Doesn't seem that way, no. At least not often...

It was because he is not nearly as good as people want to admit, and is even worse than Kessel when it comes to listening to the staff.

At some point you people are just going to need to accept that and move on.
