Well, I disagree that he was not good at anything else. If anything, he was very inconsistent, but he had moments of absolute dominance, which is why there are still people like me who think this guy has potential upside - though, as I posted earlier, I would only want him at something like a 1 year term at minimum or just above minimum salary.
I thought he was quite effective against Anaheim in the playoffs, for instance, and was just starting to learn the net-front presence game. To say it was all shoot-outs was selling him a bit short.
With that being said, his confidence might be completely shot to the point where he never does anything of note again.
