Marginal top 6 rate? Not sure about that.
51 points in 82 games in 13-14
28 points in 45 games in 14-15 (projects to 25g, 25a over 82g.)
38 points in 58 games this year (53 point pace)
Seems like solidly top 6 pace. Guys who can score 20g and 50 points are top 6 forwards in this day and age. He's a 26 year old former 1st round pick just entering his prime. Lets not sell him short.
That said he isn't one of the guys I'd be willing to massively overpay to get so I do think its unlikely we end up with him. Doesn't quite fill our needs as much as some of the other guys available.

Almost exactly a description of Frolik.... Need a better description than top-6... second line or middle 6 is more accurate.
