I think the game has caught up to Raymond. In the past, he was one of the fastest guys in the game. So much so that he could literally burn around those few dmen on each team with insufficient footspeed. I think those players have largely been weeded out, and the overall speed has increased to the point that Raymond's best weapon just isn't as much of a stand out anymore, and everything else he did was just average.
Not a fan of him and think the emergence guys like Ferland and the move to bring in Frolik makes him an odd man out, and too expensive to be so. I hope we can find a way to trade him. He's a serviceable guy, but this team doesn't need him.
