Big physical player != Successful bottom sixer
These days those kind of players almost have to be sheltered in the top six with high skill guys. To be a successful bottom sixer you need to be that kind of Byron or Frolik type of 200 foot player who really flies up the ice.
We've somewhat noticed that since Neal has gotten hurt - Czarnik is a better bottom sixer than Neal, even if Neal might be a better "top sixer" at his best.

We're not talking Kassian here, we're talking Simmonds.
As a rental.
