By all accounts he's not a pouter or a bad guy in the room, kids like Pelletier like him, he doesn't shy out of scrums for teammates, he's not a defensive liability (surprisingly good actually), so aside from not producing enough, he's not hurting - just not helping enough.

He's a team leading -13. I'm not sure how that doesn't equate to not being a defensive liability. +/- doesn't tell the whole story but that's not a stat you want to lead in.
