Like I said earlier, he reminds me a lot of Glencross where he will score some goals and then go missing in 5 game stretches.

I think he got injured before the trade deadline...hurt his neck, maybe that hurt his value a little.
I don't know if they tried to re-sign him this offseason but he probably figured he had a pretty good season last year and would rather sign with a playoff contender and not have to go through the trade deadline with a bottom feeder. But looks like that didn't work out!
Last year I remember him being quite quick so I don't know if he is comparable to Glencross. Isn't Glencross really slow?
