I'd like to see how he looks this year and how he works with Hartley and the coaching staff. He noticeably lost a step last year and I would like to see if this is gradual or one of those things where he really slows down. Also if there are any rumours of him butting heads with the new coaching staff then it's officially time to cut him loose.
On the flip side if he is revitalized under the new staff and can still keep up to the pace then I would like to see him accept a somewhat less than market value deal as if he really wants to win a cup in Calgary he has to realize this team will need cap space and help.
