He always tried hard, all kinds of skill. He just could not handle physicality though, and he didn't have the level of hockey smarts to be in the right place at the right time.
I hope he figures it out, I wish him well too, but getting a first and a second for a guy that regressed like he did year 2... Hell of a deal for the Avs.
They better trade the picks though. We are in a win now mode.
I don't know how to feel about it. Yeah, I want nuke back, but I don't want him to be locker room cancer, I want him to get help, and most of all I want this to be the end of it.
But we have no idea what happened, so I'm just left with this vague feeling of dread. Ugh.
He'd have to come in around 1m to make sense, but Evan makes a great point as usual -- his leadership will be needed with Landy out at least one more year.
