The guy was on pacefor a 60 pluspoint season. For $3.5 million, id say his output was as expected.
There is no way we trade our most talented offensive player who remains unless we are bringing in some high end talent to replace him. I dont care if he is one dimensional. He is a top six forward who puts up 60 + points while here, and his contract is affordable. This is a guy you keep.
As far as him disappearing for stretches, that is absolutely true and a flaw with this team. It is also a criticism that he and Glencross take far too much flak for, and that guys like Hudler and Cammalerri dont get enough flak for the same slumps. And lets be clear about this, all it takes is a 25 game stretch of good play to turn around public sentiment around here, as seen by Mr Stajan.
