Can both sides agree that there is evidence something is up with him off the ice, but also that he’s at worst a decent player on the ice and far better than some of the garbage Detroit is icing?

Yes.

I can see why Yzerman wouldn’t want him on the team with so many young guys up and coming, but he’s still a pretty good #4/5D

Yup, that's pretty much it I think. We don't know what he's like in the locker room or with management. He was bad in the second half last year though. So I wouldnt say far better than...

I don't always go on the Wings board but from what I saw it was a pretty heavy majority that liked him. Maybe he became a scapegoat at the end of the season and I missed it though

He fell out of favour during the second half last year. Maybe not to the extent that some wings fans tries to show in this thread but definitely looked bad and fans noticed it.
