It isn't because of the 4th line that the team was bad offensively.
On the other hand, they were good enough defensively to lose a playoff spot on a tiebreaker, despite being one of the worst offensive teams.
Lomberg is defensively responsible and helps other players to improve in that aspect of the game. That alone makes him worth having around as a 4th-line forward. You push him out when a young player can contribute more overall than he does, not just offensively.
