I don't have anything against him, really. It's just he's in one of the later years of his career, and to expect him to play every game is a little unrealistic, I think. He hit a purple patch and scored a lot in a few games, but hasn't scored in a couple of games. Perhaps tiring, perhaps just one of those things.
Either way, there's a long term to worry about as well as short term. If we keep starting him it could lead to a major injury that leads to losing him for mor ethan one game, then a few games of him coming back to match fitness. Isn't dropping him for a game the better option?
Though honestly, I was mostly just throwing it out there for something else to discuss.
