But he faces more than just on-field challenges. As he enters a free-agent year, several franchises vie for his services. Will he play for a new team, or will he remain with his beloved Krakens.
And then there's the slight distraction that someone, somewhere, is trying to assassinate him - and he doesn't know why.
