None of the options in the poll made sense to me. The team is slightly better matched against most teams with guys like Jooris or Jones in the lineup. McGrattan will be in against a lot of the big physical teams: L.A., Anaheim, St. Louis, Boston etc. He just won't be in against the smaller skilled teams on a regular basis. He's always been an extra forward and can play ok for short stretches, but he's not going to win you many games unless you need to protect the kids. It hasn't been necessary so far, but if Gaudreau starts producing a lot you know McGrattan will be a necessary deterrent to the punks of the league.

I think you could argue that he's been replaced a little by Bollig and Engelland, but it's more that there really aren't many pure enforcers left in the league, so his role is being diminished league wide. I would say it's a mix of the middle two options, but neither one exclusively with one that isn't mentioned (match ups).
