If his skill is still high enough and we need a 3rd line RW, maybe...

I doubt he would be a 3rd line RWer. There was a pretty good talk Brian Burke gave on youtube about picking role players for role player positions (this was on him picking Team USA). I don't have the link off hand, but he essentially said while Team Canada would pick a artist to do a plumbers job, a plumber could do a plumbers job better.
In lieu of that... I don't see any "4th line PP specialist" when it makes more sense just to have your 1st line play the 1st PP and your 2nd line play the 2nd PP.
On this team, 2nd line RW or bust. He looked pretty good last year, but 2 years is a long ways a way and we have no idea what will happen then. Maybe Huder is still here and is a better option, maybe Granlund moves to RWer and produces well there, maybe Hunter Smith turns out, maybe we pick a RWer this draft.
