I drafted him under the assumption he should be getting more ice time and better linemates with NY than he did in Minnesota. Safe to still assume that?
I think he likely starts on the 3rd line especially given that he's coming off an injury that would reduce mobility. However, if Okposo doesn't gel on the 1st line I think Clutterbuck might get a try up there. Clutterbuck would be able to create a lot of room for Tavares and Moulson to operate and is a solid power forward, unlike some goons out there that just hit. Clutterbuck did play junior with Tavares for what that's worth (not much I'd say).
I'd project him in te 40-45 points range with a sleeper upside of 55 if he can get any traction on the top line. I would be very reluctant to drop Perron at this point, he has looked really good in Edmonton and is the power forward that top-6 needs. I'd probably prefer to drop either Clowe or Brouwer before I dropped Perron.
