2012 - that would be 7 years.
It is just that he apparently stopped getting better. Maybe his getting traded to Toronto hurt his psyche and destroyed his motivation.
It is like his mind is stuck in the body of the the 6-3 160 lb kid the Flames drafted.
His desire to play a non-contact game is not a good fit on a team that already has a bunch of talented players that would rather play in a no-contact league.
