Today, let us take a look at Jamie McGinn.
McPing is a good, versatile player to have on the team for 5-on-5 play. He can play anywhere in the top 9 and not usually look out of place. He seems to be well liked with the guys and is usually good for around 20 goals per season playing on mixed lines. His style of play is a bit of a mix between grinder and power forward. I would like to see Jamie be able to play on the PP or PK but he seems to be just under the skill level to do either (without focusing on training for it). There are times I find myself saying, "No way should we ever get rid of this guy" and other times saying, "If other teams want him, like they have, we should trade him for something." Needless to say, I am not sure where I stand on him. I like him but I am not so sure he should stay after his contract is up or in the case of a trade unless he develops a little bit more defensively or offensively.
What do you think? Can he hover around that 20 goal mark or is he destined for more or less this season? Can he develop into a role player on special teams or will we see him used exclusively at even strength? Do we keep him forever or do we look for a trading partner in this or next season?
