The years he had good seasons he backchecked and played well, but I don't think he was ever as good as last season or ever will be.
I also thought him and Tkachuk once again floundered in the playoffs especially on the defensive side of things. I think the comment from John Stevens was pretty telling that the team lost its way when certain players started playing for individual stats.
Sutter also stopped himself yesterday, but he was pretty much saying I would rather have top centermen over wingers.
