He had only four goals and eight assists for 12 points, this time with 124 penalty minutes in 82 games played. The team nevertheless did not demote him from the first line, and he played 72 games in what would become his final season with the team. His point totals were decent, with 46 points (20 goals, 22 assists), but he was dealt to the Boston Bruins at season's end.
