I think he can play all rolls but is best suited on the 2nd or 3rd line with a Bennet or Tkachuk. There is too much pressure on the top line and people want to see him play that heavy hitting game. That won't work on the top line as he needs to be driving the net and not caught behind the play on a huge hit.
Playing with Bennet or Tkachuk makes that line a instant frustrating line for the other team with skill to score.
4th line is a waste of his talent.
