Chicago and Los Angeles don't have a 'true power forward'.
I think you need bigger players that can skate, but not sure if you necessarily need a 230+lbs player.

My biggest concern with this player is if he can keep up with pace of today's game.

Personally I think guys like Gaudreau are too small, and guys like Ritchie are too big. The ideal player is about 80% of the way between Gaudreau and Ritchie.
I guess depends on how you define it.
Kings are the biggest team in the league.
They drive hard to the net and win races to loose pucks.
Maybe thats the new power forward.
