Asset cost aside, I still don’t care for this move. I’ll admit I don’t know much of his on ice talent, but the fact he has been moved so frequently and his off ice issues are a huge no thank you for me.
He’s genuinely a very skilled player. Very snappy puck movement with a sneaky wrist shot to boot. Absolutely lethal on the power play.
When things are going well, he’s a fantastic player. Problem is, he’s fairly easy to knock off his game. He’s easily goaded into doing dumb shit, and when things are going poorly, he loses his mind. See the incidents in the playoffs this year and his fight with Georgiev with the rags.
And it’s not like they’re isolated incidents. He’s got a parade of red flags going all the way back to Juniors, abusing teammates and refs.
He’s a great player, and he had a great season for the Canes, but I can’t say I’m too sorry to see him leave.
