He doesn't need to be "more properly slotted". He needs to be "more properly supported". Hockey is a team game and when you sell off a quarter of your roster it dumps harder on the rest.
Get off of the lame duck +/- stat. It is weak and doesn't mean anything and it is not worth the effort to debunk over and over again with meaningful stats.

You can say that plus/minus is a weak stat, but -38 on a 96-point team, when the next worst was -17, is an indication that something is wrong. Aside from his first dozen games, he did not have a good season.
