Complain about the contract (even though I'm glad he got that contract and made some money cuz he's been a warrior who really sacrificed his body for this team) but he still is an NHL player capable of playing on the 4th line.

Because he is not good and he's by some moderate margin the worst forward this team has.
He's not good enough to provide any sort of consistently decent forecheck (his hits rarely ever do much good as he often misses his target and mostly hits more glass than opponent when throwing a bodycheck). And when he doesn't get into shooting lanes, he gets exposed badly defensively because he loses his defensive zone coverage a lot.
IMO, other than laying in front of everything and being a human puck blocking machine, he's adequate at nothing else at any sort of NHL level.
