The problem is that if he continues to play as poorly as he is but you keep him while waiting to see his value go up and he continues to be bad then you are just throwing away a lot of time.
I think he still has some value, but if he continues like this the Flames have no choice. He has been really bad for about a year and it doesn't look like it's going to change any time soon. Just gotta hope there's a team or two this summer that will pay a premium to get him, hoping the Johnny from 1.5 - 2 years is still in there somewhere.
