I can think of several reasons:
1) Who better to mentor young d men.
2) A relative cheap salary as he just wants to play.
3) I think he personally can be a good 3 or 4th line compared to what most teams put out there. So why not take a flyer on him?
4) He a good pr move in some regards as he a popular star, does a lot of stuff with the community, fans, team events.
