Not that I want or think he can or should play, but I could see him regaining his form. Especially in a market where NHL is the least important sport in town. Goaltending is at least 50% or more mental ability. It's not hard understanding his game falling off the last couple years with that crap weighing him down. Getting to a place where no one pays too much attention would probably suit him and the team well, at least in performance.
Having said that, I think the KHL is where they all should head off and disappear, preferably Siberian teams or the like.
