Whaaat does this mean?
He turns it over in the neutral zone
He doesn’t even get to uncontrolled entries (dump ins) or controlled entries
And doesn’t do anything defensively to make up for it

He's not taking 1 year? Who the hell is he going to play with here to help build his resume?
Good luck with that.
If he takes a 1 year deal at age 28, his agent deserves to be fired. It's unlikely that he'll get $8m x 8 but his agent will be looking to maximize the total value of his contract this summer before that 40 goal season fades too far into the rearview mirror.
With so much cap space floating around this summer, somebody will pay him.
Then it’s good-bye.
Apparently his trade value is nearly zero right now.
He probably would have received $8.5x8 last summer after 40 goals. He’s going to get way, way less than that this summer.
Betting on himself (whether it’s here or elsewhere) isn’t necessarily a bad idea.
But yes, Trotz or someone might still give him a $7x6 golden parachute and he probably will take it. We should be staying the f*** away. He’s had one good half-season in the last 4 years.
