Yes, I do think he would rank highly because of his line mates. Besides, shouldn't your argument be that if that was the case, thank god we have Gaudreau Bennett and Monahan for him to play with, because that makes much more sense to me as an argument.

Really, i appreciate the guys who work and watch games for draft guides. But I can form my very own thoughts and opinions and put their opinions into question freely.
