Craig proved how useful he was, that's all there is to it. His possession numbers are poor, he's not great offensively, and turns over the puck a lot. But there's something to be said about a guy who knows he isn't best player on the ice, but even knowing that, tries to do his best to create something, anything. He doesn't get much done, but he earns the respect of both teams when he steps on the ice. He's very intelligent, I recommend you read up on him some more before forming an opinion.
Put him with some skilled 4th liners. He will fight for the puck and show his leadership and how good of a work horse he can be. The team feeds off that, every team needs a guy like Craig. Good guy with a low cap hit, he can't do anything by himself but surround him with good players and he will shine
