People may not stop talking about his contract, but they should. It’s pretty irrelevant, being sunk money that can’t be changed. And especially now, he’s not stopping the team from doing anything they want to contract-wise.

Yeah you’ll never convince me that a $10.5M contract is going to be irrelevant to how the team manages airs situation going forward.
As for what caused his massive drop off, I don’t pretend to know. I agree that he gives every indication that he cares out there so I should have used a better term. I have been more concerned of his fitness or preparation or commitment to playing without the puck which is what I should have said.
Sorry to derail the thread. I am encouraged by how he is playing better but I still see him as one of the principal reasons the club is outside the playoffs.
