It's always the risk when you bring in guys like this that aren't the highest skilled but work hard as sometimes they fit right in and click with some of the skilled guys and sometimes they don't. Andrew Copp in Detroit is another example. Good role player in Winnipeg but he's not thrived in Detroit and they are paying him almost $6 million a season for 10-15 goals and bottom 6 minutes.
