Never really fit with Drai, was never given a chance with Mcdavid, buried in the bottom six once the playoffs rolled around. All he really wanted to do was fade into the background and get open for one-timers, probably could have been a decent triggerman for Mcdavid who dominates puck possession and playmaking in a way Drai doesn't.

Looks like a missed opportunity in hindsight, but there were two places in the top six where they could try him and the coaching staff and team were very reluctant to bump RNH off Mcdavid's wing.

I don't know if we'll ever get to know why top-6 wingers weren't given top-6 slots in the Knoblach era
