In Edmonton, he was unhappy. He wasn't performing well and all the talent in the organization prevented him from truly proving his worth.
With the Carolina Hurricanes, many thought he'd rise to the occasion to perform but he didn't.
Since his junior days, he has shown a lot of potential. That's why it was so disappointing to see him play like that for the past few years.
He'll be an UFA on July 1st and according to an insider, the Canes won't make him an offer.
It has been reported that unless another team wants to give him a chance, he'll leave the NHL this summer.
