No other player on the team can do what he does. He's the perfect 3rd line centre who can also slot anywhere in the top 6 and be productive while being defensively responsible.
He's on a good deal. We need to bolster our forwards group, not weaken it.

Keeping a third line centre instead of trading him as part of a package to obtain a top six forward/winger as most are suggesting, isn't bolstering your forward group. It's weakening it.
