Honestly thought he was excellent first half, easily his best performance for us by some margin. The link up play with Rogers for the goal is representative of how good he can be, hopefully a sign of things to come. He's been much better these past 5 or so games, showing little bits here and their and we'll need that in the run in.
Having said that, even if he maintains that for the next 3/4 months, I don't think we should be the ones to offer him a contract in the summer. Even with a wage cut to 170-200k, half a season here and there of good play over the past few years just isn't good enough.
