Ideally he's the 13th forward already this year. When I look at the 4th line right now and I see
Lomberg - Pospisil - Klapka
Or
Honzek - Pospisil - Klapka
I know what one I prefer. This team needs to get younger and open up spots for all the young wingers in the pipeline. If Lomberg is happy to be 13th forward then sure, but I really don't think he should be playing all 82 for this org.

With Backlund and maybe Lomberg now, I see Coleman getting signed next summer too. I don't mind keeping these guys at a discount to fill in the bottom 6, but we need to upgrade the top 6 and sometimes you need young players to start on the bottom 6 and work their way up.
For me Klapka starting on the 4th line is disappointing. He is past the point of working his way up. We need to give him a crack now.
