I am making sure I write this before reading anyone elses comments but to me he is sulking over the Tkachuck contract.
JG signed a contract and has been the highest scorer on this team for a number of seasons, he was the 'superstar' of the team, all eyes were on him. Chucky comes along and suddenly JG is no longer the golden boy, despite still being one of the top scorers. Chucky holds out after his RFA deal and gets a higher contract than JG.
'Fine' says JG, 'lets see how they do if they have to rely on Tkachuck to score, he is the highest paid player after all'. Effort level drops.
Now this is total specualtion by me, I have no idea if he is getting pressure from his girlfriend, for arguements sake, that he should be getting the most money as he is the star or what but you don't drop off to this degree when you are just 'having a off season' (which all players have from time to time). Like I said pure specualtion, it could be an injury or a poorly family memeber, who knows but something isn't right and I think it has a lot to do with Tkachuck.
