It's sad that he couldn't stay healthy and find more ways to improve.
I felt that he did improve a lot in the last couple years, but that was from being a striking negative (I was sure that he was not an NHL caliber player) to being worth a positive but somewhat lower amount than his $2.6m contract. It makes sense that he was bought out given how cheap the buyout is (we even get a cap bonus for it this year??).
And for a team that needed to improve defensively this is a subtraction you have to make.
