Honestly, if he was making something like $5.8m as a third line center, and wasn't captain, I'd absolutely love him on the team. But he feels like a good support player, not someone to build a team around. He was made captain kind of by default it seems to me, and I don't see how you can walk that back now. He'd thrive somewhere like Pittsburgh where he wouldn't have to be "the guy" and wouldn't have pressure to lead the team. I just don't see that consistent intensity and will to win.
