Could be all of that plus a pinch of homesick. Could a negotiating tactic to get a bump in his next contract.
I feel Nich was in Ruffs dog house unnecessarily a fair bit last year. Not to say he didn't deserve to be in the dog house at all, just that Ruff like Hartley can get it out for you.
Rough 1st year back from hip surgery, I hope he stays in the NHL and rebounds from a bad season.
