And I agree about his long term deal here. He may take one because Calgary is a nice enough city and the management is nice. But do we want to sign him to those big $$$? Fair bit of risk as the league gets faster by the day. He is not going to improve his skating at his age, is he?

I noticed last night that he sure carries the puck far in front of him. His blind passes are noticeable. I mean they are going to dangerous areas - if anyone was there. Either he needs to take a look or play with a guy that goes to the slot all the time.
