I think he will be an NHL'er. He was getting rave reviews as a PK'er, and he was finding his groove here before the trade.
What he is not is a top 6 player, and he doesn't help with getting bigger as a team. However, he is glue-guy and that is usually overlooked, plus he is a solid 2-way forward. I bet he carves-out a decent career for himself as a middle-six player with intangibles.
