His trade value probably isn't amazing for the same reason somebody like Conor Garlands aren't.
Teams don't want to trade assets for small, middle 6 wingers, unless they have elite production. But tough for those guys to have elite counting stats with their limited PP usage.
So they end up being more valuable to the team that has them then they are in a trade. (personally I think some NHL GMs are stupid because it's actually probably a market inefficiency you could take advantage of)
