He seems to be one of the last options on either side of the coin and to me that is a strong indicator that he needs to improve in both his offensive and PK acumen in order to take another step. Still worth the gamble given everything else he does though provided the contract isn't too cumbersome.

That was never my comment.
I just pointed out he wasn't useless at it and therefore replaced as you surmised. But moved to secondary powerplay instead of support penalty kill.
