I think he's great and should be kept on this team long term for his defensive and PK abilities. The other potential replacements are 2-3 years away from reaching his level of play.
A couple of seasons ago he seemed to have more offensive creativity, moving his feet better and using his speed as he's an excellent skater. These days he has a tendency to simply gain the zone and then put a weak shot on net from just inside the blue line (corsi stats padded, line change).
