Agree on his skill level but I disagree on him dropping to the fourth line.
I think that lines need to have a blend of skills that each player brings.
What Pospisil brings to the Kadri line helps to open up space and give the other two players some extra time. He has the skills and speed to play with them.

Might be old school philosophy but I prefer lines that have some setup skill, a finisher, and a bit of a grinder that can help in the corners, be a defensive conscious, and go to the front of the net.

Bossy - Trottier - Gillies
Shutt - Mahovlich - Lafleur
Patterson - Gilmour - Mullen
Roberts - Nieuwendyk - Look

I think that Pospisil brings the needed elements to bring to help build a line like this.


That said, there is no one on the Flames that I would not trade for a home run return.
Which I think was Jiri's original point.
