He's a 4th liner. Hasn't been 3rd line for at least 3 years by first glance. To be a very good 3rd liner wouldn't he have to actually play 3rd line minutes at some point?

If they got a very good 3rd liner for 2.5 million I'd be pretty happy. But they didn't. They got a pretty decent 4th liner for 2.5 million. That's entirely different.
Even Rangers fans consider him a 4th liner and he was a fan favourite.

He's everything you want from a 4th liner IMO, but as a 3rd liner he's limited.
