With that said, it's pretty clear that our coaching staff thinks he's a regular just fine hockey player with how many minutes he gets, so I don't know.

He's 10th among forwards with regards to even strength minutes, and that is really just due to the Frolik injury.
They aren't playing him a ton. I think some specific usage can be criticized for sure but I don't think overall ice time is an issue, as I don't know who they should be playing instead of him. That right side is just a real weak spot, and even Hathaway has taken a step back in my view.
