His biggest fault seems to be he didn't become the top line forward that we all hoped he could become...but that doesn't mean he's useless.

Not so much a whipping boy, but a valuable asset whose salary no longer fits the timeline at all. Calgary also has a big surplus of wingers, and not enough centers.
