I think there is a bit more offensively to tap. He'll never be a double digit goal or 40 point guy. But he can handle the puck, moves it reasonably well, and moves well for his size. So he could be a 25 -30 point guy. Which is decent for a guy not getting a lot of PP time.
On one hand the more one dimensional guys do have limits in their value. So if you go short and his offence is stagnant and he doesn't become an intimidating presence. Maybe his salary would be the same or close to a longer term deal now.
