Only one lineup is he actually penciled in a spot.
Think the writing is on the wall for this guy. (hoping so anyway)

Raymond was one of the few guys that could actually skate with the Ducks, but the problem is that he has no finish (or is very inconsistent at best). It doesn't help when guys like Bouma, Jones and Jooris are producing as much if not more than him because they all bring more grit and physicality than Raymond.
Willing to give him another year to establish himself offensively (plus it's good to have some veteran depth), but he has to know there are other guys waiting to take his spot in the lineup (see Poirier, Emile).
