I think Pospisil is getting underrated around here. Sure, he can make some boneheaded plays, but he brings that agitation that no one else has been able to bring since the departure of Tkachuk. He made Dunn go insane. That's a top pairing defenseman getting annoyed at our bottom 6 guy.
We have enough forward depth in the lineup that if he does start to make more bad plays than good, then he is going to get familiarity with the popcorn machine. And it has already been brought up that he can move up and down the lineup at ease, meaning he can join any lineup and can be effective (when he is on his 'A' game).
