Joseph has really struggled since they traded Tarasenko. With Tarasenko and a healthy Norris the third line had a passable amount of skill. Without them it does not. Joseph is a good player, but he's a complementary piece. It's pretty clear that he can't drive the offence on his own. He needs a play-driver on his line to be effective (which is totally fine for a winger making under 3 million).

He does add speed to the lineup, that is improvement there
