Erat is one of the most skilled shooters and danglers in the NHL. He's also very solid on his skates at 200lbs. Think a much better version of Huselius. Erat will do very well playing along with other offensively minded players in Washington. You have to look a little beyond Erat's stats, as he plays for Nashville.
I respectfully disagree with your assessment of Erat. I think he is vary comparable to Stempniak. And my point was lamenting that we would have been happy to give a mid level forward +. Although it seems McPhee leans more to your side and is way overvaluing Erat.
