Calling him a center is a bit of a stretch considering he has played it all of one season in his career and that was the only time he had over 100 FO's in a season. Not only is he not a center he seems like a guy that isn't even the 2nd choice to take FO's on his line.
He hasn't had a single season when he was near PPG. He had an injury shortened season at .7 PPG and a career average of .68. Not awful but not near PPG either.
I think people don't want to throw money at a secondary guy with injury issues and likely only coming for an overpay on a team that is going to struggle (at best) to make the play-offs for the next 3-4 years.
Much better to wait to throw money like that in a year or two when you see where the team is at and who of the young guys has stepped forward to best identify the team needs when they will actually be competitive.
