Here? Would be be on Backlund's wing on the 3rd line? Probably not. So that puts him in the top 6. Where once gain he'd be looked at as at least "one of the top guys". In a hockey mad market.
How would he do?
All that said, Mangiapane-Kadri-Kessel would probably be fun

Sorry Pelletier looks like he would start in Stockton but I am sure he would be a call up at some point next year
