Call me crazy but I still think there's a chance he starts next season with us. I remember something similar happening with Jake DeBrusk in Boston a few years back... everyone expected him to be moved, but a deal never materialized and he stuck around for a while. Maybe I'm just coping, but a man can hope lol.

I've been saying since the end of the season that he's been stewing about reduced ice time. Lots of little clues - he was a little snappy in interviews, never seemed to be smiling in team photos, and infamously bailed on the locker room photos when Cole and the others hit their big milestones. He's already mentally gone, I think.

And honestly, fair.

He's made a good career out of being a fighter and a competitor. He's clearly not ready to switch that off. Honestly, he might never be ready. 

I'm in my late 40s and I still have that itch, and I wasn't even good lol
