He had the bad year with breaking his foot off a slapshot after coming back from hip surgery
look at his games played though, outside the one year with 17 his lowest GP is 77 in the last 8 seasons
he's not injury prone
I think it's a crazy deal, I dont think hes worth that money this year let alone 32 next year, but his injury history is overblown
