He's at the very least a 3rd line player imo. He's always looked good at the NHL level in Ottawa, and has been way too good for Belleville. He was a super underrated part of that monster forward lineup, where he was overshadowed by Batherson, Norris, Formenton, L.Brown.
I don't know if he has a whole lot of top six upside, but he can definitely be a guy who can give you 3rd line minutes and somewhere around 12-16 goals and 30-35 points imo. He'll see more PP action than PK, and there's at least a shot that he can be a potential 20 goal guy. He's gota scorers shot, and he's under appreciated for how good he is with his net front tip ins.
I imagine he'll be in San Jose before long.
