I mean his only real success here was with JG and SM, and he sure as hell isn't getting that spot.
So you drop him to play with MT and MB? Then you have to remember that although he is OK defensively, he sure isn't a guy that would normally be seen as a shut down type which, on that line, you have to have.
IMO, and more than acquisition costs etc, he simply doesn't fill a slot on this club.
I would love his size and miserableness moving forward for sure but again im not sure you can find a spot for him to maximize what he brings without screwing up every other part of the forward ranks as constructed. That simply is not worth it.

The only place I see he has a spot on is the 4th line taking out Eatbread.
No way you're going to bump down Neal to the 4th line. Benny is playing well on the 3rd so I don't see why we would remove him from that.
