The last time he was really good for the Flames was 2014/15. He followed that up with 2 years of 7 points (albeit shortened seasons). He then went to Chicago where he spent a big chunk of the year with Rockford even though Chicago's roster wasn't that great. Followed that with a year in the Swiss league where he played all of 3 games.

I just call it like I see it. He was borderline a few years ago, and he isn't becoming a better player as he approaches 30. I'm pulling for him, but his chances of playing much longer in the NHL are a little grim.
