As a blaze fan I would take him back next season without hesitation. As probably our 4th D-man he plays his role perfectly. The fact there is a thread on an opposition forum dedicated to him tells me he's doing something right. Is the most skilled? No, he's here to block shots, and do the niggly things that some* star D men don't do.
*As a note, all of devils D men don't mind getting involved in the niggly stuff from what I've seen but certainly on other teams the more skilled D don't like it.
