It's not that he's been bad. It's more that he's been disappointing coming off a 35 goal season. He's being paid to be a 25+ goal scorer and it appears he probably more of a 15-20 goal guy. Also the guy still falls down all over the ice. I don't think he's a bad player but I think he's a bit redundant now with Dube looking like a younger version of the same player that's a better skater.
