Added to this is Sam now appears to have fallen to the 4th line, which means even less production, maybe he'll be the best (highest scoring) 4th liner in the league?

I think you're grasping now. He's a third line player making less than third line average money.
His 36 point season and on ice shooting percentage last year suggest that if he had the same opportunity this season he's likely be a 35 point player this year.
The fact that Calgary now has some pretty high end depth and he may get pushed to the fourth line doesn't take away from his production history or what he brings.
