They were desperate for offense the last two seasons (even in 21-22 they were struggling outside the top line before the Toffoli trade) and they refused to give him a look.
Even if he still would have walked this past offseason it's a mistake to not give him a real top 9 look in 21-22 or 22-23.
The team needed offense which he could provide in the right situation.
