This is simply untrue. No question his last year was bad, but when he became a UFA, he was a very interesting candidate. Relatively young, big body with speed and a scoring touch. The Avs probably paid 500k-1mm too much, but no body thought he was below average or awful at everything but shooting. Get real! Have you ever seen the guy play? In past years against the Flames, he was a very difficult guy to deal with. He is a good player who could play on virtually any NHL roster.
