I think if he has a future here (assuming we don’t get good offers this off-season) the org needs to have a serious discussion about accepting the sunk cost and moving him to wing permanently. I see no reason why he can’t be JVR with faceoff skills moving forward
I still think the trade offers might not be as bad as we all think this offseason

I can't imagine much in the way of trade offers for player who's production dwindled to basically nothing at the end of the season and needs off season surgery. He had 8 points in his last 24 games, many of them with premium ice time and PP time.
Some of that will depend on the nature of the surgery which is unknown to us at this time. And how much his production was affected by his injuries. But I think he'll need to prove himself helthy first.
