I wouldn't go that far. Who knows maybe he'll turn it around and still be an effective 3rd or 4th liner when he realizes that an 82 regular game schedule is just as important as the playoffs. Or, if he realizes that the teams he'll be playing on has everyone showing up all the time (even in the playoffs) and he needs to bust his ass to earn his spot. Or, maybe he just doesn't care and you'll be right. But I think he'll go through at least several teams before he figures it out or he'll be out of the big leagues. I'm just glad the Flames don't have to keep its hopes up that he'll turn it around. Let him and some other team do that. Maybe the team is now winning without all that drama.
