I don't feel like the Preds are giving him a fair shot, relative to his actual game-action performances anyway. He should be playing every game and getting looks in higher roles.
There must be something they are not happy about outside the game-action. He has every right to be upset about how they've treated him, going back many years. If that is showing in any way in terms of attitude away from games, I guess that's the only reason I can imagine that they aren't giving him more of a chance. Well, that or horrible coaching.
