Agree on this - to me, Klimchuk is a middle 6, 2-way winger. He will be the 3rd guy on a second line or a guy with a bigger role on the 3rd line.
One thing that has been consistent in his junior representative days was he was often the 3rd guy on a big line - he knows how to play his role with more skilled players. Would not surprise me at all to see him being a "glue" player in Calgary in 2 seasons time
