JAG maybe, but still an important piece. Since we lost him to the Avs, our 4th line has been crap. Even when we ran out the Dewies, it still didn't have the same capabilities it had under Sturm. But the thing is, you need JAGs in your lineup, not everyone can be a leader and outstanding. There's a reason there is GAR stats. Guys below that are replaceable, but you'll always have guys below that average. Those guys are your 4th liners. He adds more than just his stats with his size. It doesn't really matter that he doesn't hit as much as Foligno and Trenin. He can play heavy down the middle where he is hard to move. Somehow, since his entrance into the lineup, our PK has become tolerable. Our 4th line has become stable. That's really what you want in a depth piece. I'm not trying to fool anyone into thinking he will suddenly be a top 6 guy and has potential. That's not it, he's just a solid depth piece that I think is an above average 4th liner. He makes Foligno and Trenin become part of a heavy line. And, he's a lot faster than Breezers ever was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
