Been this way most of the season. Also watching him trying to get the puck off of anybody is just sad. So weak.

Watching him on a nightly basis, it's totally obvious why Vancouver then Toronto had no problems watching him walk away as a UFA. I have to give Jay Feaster some credit here, he wanted nothing to do with Mason Raymond, really wish Treliving would have felt the same way.
I think he's trying to shoot his way out of his slump. He's playing a completely different game to what he was before he was injured. Earlier in he would try to get open in a good spot or pass it. Now he's trying to carry and shoot from everywhere and is annoying because it constantly wastes opportunities. He's definitely not playing the same game now though
