A top six is what we currently see in ours when they are peaking, Granted pearson is the obvious upgrade when the time comes.
Look at deep teams, Nothing wrong with having talent down the lineup to spread the wealth. Alot of it comes down to match ups as well.
Would he have 5 goals playing a pure offensive role against other teams top players? I'm not so sure. BUT i'd much rather give him a shot over virt if injuries arrive.
I've seen him get most his points off the rush, Not from set plays after being in the OZ maintaining pressure. Which is what our top lines tend to do.
I love motte, But coaching staff see's these players in soo many different ways then us average fans can, We will have to take their word for it when it comes to rolls on the team.
As others stated, I'm not sure id fix what isnt broken. Plus do we really need motter thinking hes some 4+ million dollar player? haha
