He's only played over 15 league games once since 2011. This isn't a good idea.
The key would be more about how much he contributes when he plays - not just in terms of goals and points, but how important are his goals / assists in terms of the game i.e. does he open the scoring to allow the team to dictate? Does he score/assist to secure points as much as score winning goals? Does he score against other contenders or is he a flat track bully?
If he provides value for time played, then the trick is to exploit his strengths and then manage his game time by taking him off and replacing him with competent cover that enables the team to retain the same style or to exploit the opposition needing to chase the game.
