Agreed. He's slotted in well on both defence and forward lines wherever needed. A Chris Culligan in progress.
Chad is fearless in the dirty areas, works hard and passes the puck in an accurate and timely manner. In the Evan Mosey mould, without the injury weaknesses. Every team needs a couple of energy players who execute their role well.
We already have two brits doing the same energy job and although he has the plus of playing D in his locker I think an upgrade on him would be great.
I do agree that if the second line upped their production it could help carry him but it’s just my opinion
