I don't think they'll be a huge risk of losing him as our Center depth is poor and he's getting plenty of TOI including PP time, not to mention Hudler being here for a few more years. The only risk would be possibly if he wants to play with his buddy Jagr

I don't know. The skill is there and IMO that's the most important. As long as his attitude is there and he is happy in Calgary $3 million isn't that much of a risk. If he continues playing like this you can bet that if he is available July 1st that many teams will be sniffing around and you don't want to be bidding for him in the silly season because he will get overpaid.
