One thing i can't fully buy into is, how can a guy have no hockey sense and survive this long?
Was he carried by linemates, riding the coattails on a strong team... and why can't a GM see who doesnt understand the game, and not draft them.
A guy cant go on the hot streaks that he has gone on and not be able to play the game all the way thru. He doesn't ride coattails. Its not like a cold spell is a one time thing. It happens every season. If I had to guess, I would suggest his issue is off the ice and/or in his head. Who knows how dedicated he is to his profession or how fragile his mental approach can be? Maybe he rides the coattails of his natural tools and when that isn't enough he doesn't have the game face to fight thru it.
