What is the team doing to address that? I don't think there will be any build around his style with Sutter, so consequently there will be no improvement from him. If you have more sample size with the same play, surely no team would take a chance at him while giving up assets. Some could argue his value isn't good now with the salary/term. I say you sell now as 8 more years of him and Kadri are terrible in a cap system going forward given their age. There is no luxury of waiting until he turns it around.
He was coming on strong the last twenty games and certainly didn't look destroyed. He looked like a guy who was putting it together under a new coach just like Johnny and Tkachuk before him
