To reiterate, because he was often very productive versus the Red Wings, they realized they lacked his physical style of play, so wanted to try and mold his physical play into their "skill" based strategy. It obviously didn't work, but it didn't matter because their AHL guys that came up did far better than expected, so they don't need him.
