The rebuttal is that the past season and a half suggest that posting that video is like posting a video of prime Dirk. 41 ain't here no more, and the old Maxi hasn't been here for a while. He's actually starting to look like Mummy Dirk on D when he plays.
The best thing to do is to take at least a month or two, not just to heal his current injury, but to work with the trainers and docs to get him as close to perfectly healthy - and conditioned - and up to speed - as possible, and then play him a few games before the deadline to see if he bears any distant resemblance to old Maxi. If not, then they might think they need to make a move. It would depend on how "desperate" they are to go for it this year.
It's possible he's done, yeah. I sure hope not.
Honestly, if Williams gets going, it won't matter so much. If BOTH get going, things will get very interesting, I think.
