It's a huge loss. He's one of the top scorers in the game, an elite player. He's a valuable weapon on your top scoring line and on your power play.

I think with Al there was always this thought that he was just a slapshot.

There were a number of things Al did besides generating a threat on the power play. And he did it at an age when you see players at that position get slower. It seemed like he was almost getting better as he got older.
