Let him walk, he's going to get overpaid anyway. No way do I want to tie up $5M in this guy, when we have a similar player in Schroeder still on an ELC.
He wasn't great this series, but not terrible. I wasn't expecting him to score goals, he's supposed to be a setup guy who bags a lot of assists and was simply misused. He didn't get the job done in the faceoff dot though, and couldn't overcome his size disadvantage. Third line C was a hole that went unfilled due to his deployment on Kesler's line. I don't think he's a fit for us going forward, and I expect him to walk.
