Guy cranked it up in the second half of the season. Gained a lot of fans. Potential isn't leverage though. He's a finesse player (slightly built and perhaps not as prototypically tall) who may have to make the transition to middle-six, supportive role.
He's well-liked by teammates. Coaches like him. Not sensing any "Run Him Out of Town" sentiment. This is strictly business.
