No. Not at all. Blues had to put him on waivers, as they had a logjam.
He doesn't need to continue that scoring output to maintain that market rate of 3x3. That's where he's at now and will get it, unless he catastrophically re-injures himself. 30 point defensemen on the open market, that are closer to 25 than 30 will get it.
He's only doing himself favours from here on out.
