However, he was never going to be a top 6 forward here. Can a team that is destined to be small in the top6 afford to not have a painful bottom 6 to play against? There just isn't room for him, given the small make up of the team.
Tough to see the individual go, but in the end, it will be best for the team.

Personally I feel the same way, like when we traded Prust... Its about the character a player brings to the game. It makes players around him play harder, play better, not give up no matter what.
I just hope the will sign him anyways, if they don't I hope he has a good career in the NHL. To me the most important is a team and not the sum of its parts, so I hope the management know what they are doing.
