Off-ice and organizational debate aside, not sure he fits with the on-ice team identity anymore. Hasn't he lost a step or two? Or three.
I guess you could just give him PP minutes and tell him to one-time on his off-wing, like Brett Hull in his twilight years. Really not sure it's worth all the fuss and taking a up a roster spot though.
Tangent - good god I still can't believe Hull scored 86 goals one year.
