Yes, we do all know that McGrattan can score goals (he was actually a goal scorer in his junior days) but we don't count on him being a goal scorer. His main job is to be a "deterent" for other teams. My point was that McGrattan's role on the team isn't to score goals (although he can and has scored a few pretty ones in his time). Jackman couldn't score goals (even though he did score) on a regular basis yet was given the chance to play with good linemates and he had a hard time fighting his way out of a wet paper bag. He wasn't good enough to be a scoring threat and he didn't scare anyone because most anyone who would fight could put him down. He was useless on this team.
