Not that I advocate trading him at this point, but I disagree with this.
One more year like the last 2, particularly offensively, and then he is worth less.
There are many a GM league wide that would like to see if they could get more out of him is my guess but they wont be giving up a lot to do so at this point. If its more of the same next year he wont return anything.
If he is a piece that puts a deal over the top to say, upgrade goaltending, then it has to be considered.
