An awful lot of the prospects in our system fit that exact description. Klimchuk is one of the better ones.
My hope is Klimchuk will be a great 3rd line player in the same way Mikael Backlund is a great 3rd line player. That is, a 2nd liner on all but the most stacked of teams.

He's got to be the most underrated prospect we have right now, likely all because he missed training camp and some time this season with injuries. He's a very good hockey player.
