I believe you're right. I've said the same thing myself in other threads. It's not really the player that's unlikeable (although he can be rough in his own zone from time to time), it's the contract. I also think that he's been held down a bit playing for that team for so long. If he can get 40 pts a year down there, surely he can do better up here.
