4th liner on a cup team, but I think he would fall more into the third line player that can move up. I thought him and Ferland played similar styles, some physicality with a good shot and ability to elevate their game with good line-mates.

Not every fourth liner is going to have the shooting or skating skill to keep up with McDavid, but he also shouldn't be counted on to put up 40+ points without good linemates. Solid depth signing.
