I would argue against that. Other than last season, where his best friend past away, he has actually been decent on a Columbus team that has been really bad defensively for years. I think, give him a better defense, which I provided here, and an opportunity and hopefully he takes advantage of it. Also if it doesn't work out, he can probably be traded easily enough, even if it's for a slight loss or with more retention. Or good buyout would be half of what it would be now. Say he was abysmal this season and they decided to buy him out, it would only cost 750K, 1.4M, 812K, 812K. That's not bad at all. I personally think it's worth the risk.

It's how you have teams not end up like Buffalo, not saying the they don't have other issues or their leaders are bad, just using them as a consistent poor team.
I could use Edmonton as a reference. From what I heard, from NHL players and people in Edmonton, in the Hall, Eberle and Yakupov days, those guys would go out to the bar after every game. They spent a bunch of time partying instead of training and working on their game. My friend, who played with the Wild at the time, told me that their team would go and party 2-3 times a year at most in season. They had a good team with good leaders. Now, do you think with the right leadership group, those boys maybe get held accountable? Hard to say but I would argue yes.
I'm in the boat that feels like good leadership and culture is very important. Obviously you need the skills and what not but without the leadership, you won't succeed. I compare it to a workplace. If you have a good leader that keeps people happy and keeps efficiency up, the finished product will be better.
Anyways, thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
