Player Prompt

Ashford doesn't really have a set routine for the off-season. In all honesty his motivation has been in the gutter for a while despite winning gold in the IIHF and having a stellar final season in Vancouver. He was considering early retirement after the last season but has decided to keep on going despite everything. So his routine this off-season has been a little different than normal as he reported to training camp not even remotely close to being in game shape. He's going to have to go the Shaq route and get ready during the season. He's hoping to take things more seriously in the future but it has definitely been rough going to start the season. He can't skate like he used to and his game is all off. Next season he's hoping to have a better routine down so he can report ready and help Tampa Bay moving forward.
