Because the game seems to be passing him by. Why? Maybe age I don't know.
Yeah, he's only 32, but some guys just go downhill sooner than others. Scott Gomez is a good example of this. He basically stopped being an NHL calibre player in 2011 at age 32, even though he hung on in the NHL for a few more years and didn't retire until 2016.
