For a team like Anaheim that doesn't have to worry about cap space, he only costs a little more than league-minimum. With a young team, he brings some toughness to the roster and can show the players what it takes to be a day-to-day professional in the NHL. He can say things that younger players might listen to more than if the coach was saying the same things.
For a team like Boston, it really doesn't make any sense at all, except for trying to recapture the magic of 2011.
