perhaps I'm just too old
but
I don't have a lot of time for the "I didn't play professional hockey very well because (X) didn't like me" take
There was a time when professional athletes took pride in their strength and their ability to overcome adversity. its a profession not a participation ribbon pastime
The fact is, it didn't work here, it didn't look like it was going to work here and he moved on and is doing well in a different situation.
Do I think the Coyotes are going to be a contender soon? no
Is he top 4 here? I don't think so
is he top 4 on a true contender? I highly doubt it
will he grow into that? perhaps
