He is bad on face-offs, rarely blocks shots and I have not witnessed a big check on another player in 10 years.
How do you know if we would miss him at all till he is gone?
With little to no team success during his time here what would it hurt?
Sure would free up some nice Cap space to get an upgrade.

He's a consistent 45-50 point two-way centre that gets the toughest match-ups on most nights.
Not an easy thing to find.
I really don't care about block shots and big hits - they are rather meaningless to the game in my view. Agreed he's weak on face offs.
