I don't think he's hurting the team on the ice, but he's not helping as much as he should. Assuming he's not taken in the expansion draft, I'm a bit worried that he'll hurt the flames just by being over paid and under contributing, preventing us from signing guys up for ufa or filling gaps in our roster.
All that being said, it is year 1. Despite his short term lack of performance, he could still earn the value of his contract over the long term if his play improves in the future.
