I do think there's a basis in better living through chemistry with this guy, he's a lot weaker on the puck and on the boards then he used to be.

On top of that he's always been a pretty predictable player and I think NHL coaches and defensemen finally figured him out, and he's not willing to change his game.
I think if he takes a year off or something, he wouldnt get paid.
