I wouldn't re-sign him. I don't know if it's just me, but it looks like he has already lost a step. At his age it wouldn't be a surprise if he did. He was never the fastest skater, but this year it looks like it takes him longer to accelerate. He has a real tough time getting to loose pucks, and getting ahead of the defence on a rush. That could continue to get worse at his age. I don't see us as contenders this year so I trade him for whatever you can get at the deadline. I hate seeing players walk, even if it's a small return assets are assets.
