My prediction is that he produces in the 50-60 point range and someone desperate gives him a brutal contract next summer where he proceeds to coast off into the sunset.

Agreed. But that goes back to him being a good pickup for a bottom feeder. He needs to be in the top 6 in order to be of any value. But he isn't good enough to be in the top 6 of a decent team.
So he gets the opportunity in Ottawa, where, with that opportunity and ice-time, he will put up some points. Then some team will be duped into taking a chance on him.
Please let it not be the Flames.
