Again, I'm not unhappy with his prefomance last year, but lets take off the homer glasses. He's a complimentary player who can provide a veteran presence and slot into a lot of places in a pinch. That's a valuable asset, but no replacement for a true top 6 guy, which is a big part of the reason why the Flames were 17th on offense last year.

He's a 0.5ppg winger. He's good with the puck on his stick. He can play on the powerplay. He can play 5v5.
He misses 15-20 games a year. He has for several years in a row. That's why he can't get term. If Kris Versteeg had played 80 games the last five years, he'd still be a Blackhawk.
