Obviously he needs to rebound for this to be a win for the Flames. But I have yet to see anything legitimate from anyone why he won't rebound. His shooting percentage was less then 5% last season and he was buried in the defensive zone.
Seems silly to right him off based on his circumstances and the shortened season. He produced for the three seasons prior.
Also, make up your mind. One minute you are saying that you don't think the trade is horrible and that I shouldn't put words in your mouth. The next you are suggesting the trade is horrible.

It does not have to be horrible or a win, its not black or white. It seems for you if there is anything negative said about the trade then that person must think its horrible.
As for writing him off, yes he could rebound, but if you have followed the Av's at all you would know that he has lost his speed and some of his jam because of injuries. The year he got his 27 goals, injuries had not hit yet and he was playing on a line with C. Stewart. Stewart at the time was on fire.
I don't think he will be as bad as he was last year, but i see him more as a 15-20 man at best going forward.
