Not too late for him yet, but I think he needs a fresh start.
If you play a player long enough on the 3rd/4th line, you end up developing a 3rd/4th liner. Probably should have spent a season or two in the AHL.
Send him to a rebuilding team that can take a gamble and insert him into the top 6 for while.
