He's 5th on the team in xGF60, and with a bunch of players around 5% in on ice shooting percentage five on five (he's averaged 11% in his career).

I'd suggest he's do for a heater but then so are a half dozen players.

I don't see him as lazy though. Just nothing is working, and he's not shooting the puck ... shots/60 is cut in half vs averages.
What's the rebound? He's been a poor nhl player more than he's been a good one. Even after 40 goals in Vancouver they jettisoned him as soon as possible
