			I think we need to see 90% final rosters on both sides before we can start making any assumptions about lines ect.

That article makes it sound like he had a successful return to the Finnish league after rehab -- he was even the leading scorer in the league. The problem is in his head now. I saw an interview with him at one point last season and he was just so depressed sounding. He doesn't believe in himself.

He doesn't. But I think he is also quite clearly permanently damaged. He doesn't skate anywhere near as well as he once did.

He also tore his ACL in his right leg as well. I no longer see an NHL calibre Dman in him anymore. Thank goodness Oliver managed to step up last year.
