At the right price I actually wouldn't mind him coming back, he's had his struggles but the cap implications of acquiring a $6M/season starter puts the team in a tough spot with tkachuk, Bennet and backlund due for raises by 2018, and a few other holes that need to be filled like the 5/6 d pairing.
Given his track record the past few seasons I'd be comfortable gambling on a very cheap 2 year deal if no better options at reasonable acquisition costs pop up.
Edit: forgot about the third rounder
