You claimed he isn’t a bottom 6 forward in the league, yet several teams are looking at him right now. They have no idea though, because he’s a vet who’s been moved a bunch lately and that means... no one wants him and he is done.

Why aren't Buffalo, NJ, Philly or Nashville looking at him? It's because they do know, the guy isn't good enough to stick anymore and just takes a roster spot away from an actual potential contributor (and likely for more money than the replacement will take.)
Your argument is that he's a contributor based on limited numbers bouncing around between some of the worst teams in the league. He's not only on these bad teams, he is an anchor possession wise and corsi wise and these teams as well. In addition to the atrocious +/- numbers I posted earlier. This guy is not a bottom 6 player in the NHL on a playoff team. Do we want to be a playoff team?
