It's still kind of weird how he broke down so early. He was never a great skater or strong player, so it's hard to blame physical deterioration due to age (and 31 isn't that old).
I think it was a case of being creative and having decent vision, but not being able to find chemistry easily. He was one of those types that was only as good as the players he was on a line with and he eventually lost hs top line status to players that could skate better.
