He just wasn't a 99 point center. He's more like a 75 point winger. And that's still good, and still worth 8 million bucks, if your team is a contender. But it makes no sense to pay that guy 8 million bucks into his 30s if your team stinks and your issue is defence. Put that guy on the Hurricanes, Stars or Kraken and he's well worth his money. They'll find a taker for him eventually.
