A 10 game point streak a month ago and basically nothing else all year doesn't cut it. Sorry, but I've seen this song and dance too many times. The flames don't need more players who are rounding themselves out for an entire season while not scoring. For a guy that doesn't set the world on fire with his defensive play or provide much of a size factor as far as playing heavy in any way shape or form it's not enough imo.
They need the offensive players to produce. That includes doing more than just scoring. You don't see him take a game over or dominate often at all anymore.
