13th forward might be a good role for him - a capable guy with the coach's trust who can step in on the fourth line if others are stuggling, or if others are forced to move up into larger roles due to injury.
13th forwards shouldn't be playing every game though. And I agree with FBI - good placeholder, but not part of the long term picture. He might land somewhere else next season if he's not back with us, but it's not a guarantee IMO.
He's been fighting it for a while, and when turnovers also start creeping into his game, it's not inconceivable to think both he and the team could benefit from sitting out a game or two.
