And he's gotta be 32(ish) by now. Even presuming the injuries didn't diminish him, time certainly will have done so.
I mean I guess as a 3rd liner who can provide some leadership he might be handy in the playoffs, but this feels more like hope than a plan at this point.

It's kind of like Travis Kelce coming back next year. No one expects him to be the same player as before, but his presence alone will give the team a boost, and hopefully he's at least better than a random 4th-liner.
In the long-term, the question is just whether his knee is stable or not. If it is, he's got a shot at getting back up to being a legit contributor by next season. 32 is old, but it's hardly ancient.
