Agreed but the problem now is WHO would take him? The fairly substantial injury history, the volatility, the inconsistent play, coming off his shittiest personal reg season that contained injury time lost and so far no Playoffs heroics, the $3.25 mil 1 yr still left on his contract? My God, he's played himself down the lines from 2nd to 4th, he can't even be trusted to shut down other team's 4th lines now let alone being even a shadow of the Playoffs Slayer "Best 3rd Line Shut Down Centre in the NHL" reputation he's been coasting on. When he did what was expected of him on the 3rd and shut down other teams' top lines I didn't give a shit that he was being over-paid for a 3rd liner---now that he can't play 2C or do his former 3C job well or even just do hockey well period he's just over-paid space. He's been given EVERY opportunity and then some to succeed on this team. Last off-season would have been the ideal time to still use the smoke and mirrors of his reputation to deal him for something. </p>
