I personally think the timing is good given his contract you want to find these things out about a player sooner than later. There was a time when we may have thought he's future captain material but we are finding out now that he's probably not that guy and actually may be that Ribero, Subban, Avery type of player that teammates tire of over time. When you consider his below average skating I actually think he's the player this team should be actively shopping this season as I don't think he's a player you want to sign for 7 or 8 seasons. I'm not dismissing that he's a very skilled player but his act is getting old and his play has never been great when you need him to be and I would hate to see what he would look like if he ever loses a step.
