He's a diminishing asset becuase
the Jets are winning without him, so the question becomes- How much was winning in the past because of him, and losing last year was because of him
He's proven nothing in the playoffs- anyone in the market looking to make a push in the playoffs, this is consideration #1
He's coming off as not a team player out for himself . At least Larkin is playing. Not a desirable quality
Rust is going to become an issue
He totally overestimated the goalie market and the trend for cheaper, younger goalies

I don't see a scenario where he comes back to this locker room. He basically told everyone in that room he thinks they're not good enough, and what... you're gonna sit Skinner who's doing a good job (and seems like a great locker guy), send Mud down for this guy and what is personally best for him?

You cannot send Stevenson down, he needs to stay on the NHL roster or he goes back to the Capitals.

If he stays on the NHL roster for a season, then you can attempt to send him down.

and Morrissey isn't close to being better

Almost every piece I read about this situation describe it as a standoff.

A player has requested to be traded with very specific parameters of what he want to opt out of a long-term contract he signed willingly under no duress with an employer three years ago.

Therefore the standoff I guess is the Jets GM having a five year window to ensure, as he has put it, to 'get it right'.

Really interesting article in the Free Press today on what happens and the options available to all involved if Helle decides he's coming back to perform his contractual duties while his very specific trade request is accomodated to his liking.
