Fans rag on the fourth line all the time but they're actually near the top of the team in what they give up defensively.
Is he ready to take on that role?
To me it's Pospisil, Sharangovich and perhaps Farabee (but he generally plays more of a shutdown role).

It feels like some posters believe the Flames could somehow only play him in the offensive zone. There might be some benefit to Suniev having practiced how the
team plays in those other zones.
