Consider that he is going to be bottom six here barring injuries. He will get nary a sniff of top two ice time.

He only got 13:14 mins ATOI last year after averaging 16 to 17 mins the previous 8 seasons; they pigeon holed him as he start to fall out of favour and become snake bitten but as the numbers suggest even after being given terrible line mates he still helped drive play. I think he will fit in nice here and may even carve out some PP time.
