Unknown.
He had a string of around 30 games where he was around .85 PPG.
He's big(ish), fast, talented and good enough defensively that he is not a liability playing against the competition a top line faces. People forget, but he was a former first round pick, and a fairly high one at that.
Let's see how he does over an 82 game season. He is at least going to start the season on the top line with E. Staal (and maybe even Jordan).
So in a sense you are correct. His league wide value is low because of his only 30 or so of games playing well. If he plays at that level for an entire season, then I am sure you will hear about him.
