I appreciate that some of CP remembers Backs as an offensive threat - but that isn't actually the case here.
Jooris can produce offensively as well as play more than adequate on the other end. He will not become a 7min per night player so we can have more backs and Stajan....

I think people are saying that when/if we DO become a Blackhawks, that Jorris would be a great 4th liner. And I will again preface this by saying that I don't believe in 1st-4th lines, I believe in a balanced attack with SOME bias towards higher talents with certain groups and the "bottom" group gets about 10 minutes. But really, having a balanced group lets you send out whoevers earning it, not whoevers best. Having the ability to throw out Byron, Jooris and Ferland on a PP because they are having a great game is a good thing. But that is likely a "4th line" on a top team. If Jooris can be a guy like a Sammy Paulssen/Stephane Yelle, I think that's what people are envisioning.
Anything over an above that is gravy. In fact, it's gravy already.
