He was never thought of as an extremely high end skater, playmaker or defensive guru.
So, this year was pretty terrible. Not enough goals and I doubt anyone would argue that.
However, I don't think we need to write him off completely. It has been 2 really weird years and a number of tough injuries. I think he still has plenty of value as a goal scoring centre, so if you can extract value, great. I just wouldn't give him away, which is what some seem to be advocating.

I don’t understand these arguments. “His game is goal scoring and it’s okay that he brings nothing else to the table.”
That’s not a centre. That’s James Neal.
