Not sure I agree with this.

He is one of the few players on this club that likely still has some decent value that isnt a main part of the core.

So if upgrading means making a trade and draft picks are not what you want to part with or the other team needs/wants a forward back, he is certainly at the top of the list.

Maybe no such deal exists, but my guess is that BT wouldn't hesitate to move on from him. He simply is not important to the success of the club and indeed can be a liability at times. 5th season now.
