I’m not at all surprised he got another opportunity, and I think we all would’ve been happy with him at this price (given the lower expectations and, accordingly, the lower usage).

I don't agree, actually.
I would've said that after year 1, but not after year 2. He's below replacement level IMO, and his inability to do things necessary on a 4th line makes him a less than ideal candidate for that role. I'm not talking about fighting or blocking shots, I'm talking about puck pressure, skating, and effort.
