He’s tied with Keith for the second most points after Spezza. IMO he just needs to play a safe game, help Rasmus develop and transition to a less offensive role.

As I've said before I always though his six year deal would be 2 great, 2 average and 2 listings seasons.
Instead we got three great and an above average ... now it's starting to buckle.
Hopefully he finds it like last night and gives us some above average and average for the next 18 months.
Either way the contract turned out to be money.
