No, Mattias won't be an especially good puck mover. Maybe a tick below average at the NHL level, can be a little slow at times moving it, but he's a very smart player, so he can still make a read and he's not totally deficient with pucks. Pairing him with someone a little more adept in the entry/exit game will help. But if he was an especially good puck mover, he goes much higher.
I understand the need and want for players with puck skills, especially in the transition game, but what gets lost in the shuffle is that you can still be a positive effecter of the game without it (and I mean statistically, not just coach speak), though you need a lot going right. And Mattias has that. He's great at preventative defense keeping pucks out of his own end to begin with: he's adept in the cycle game and pinching so as to keep pucks in the offensive zone; his gaps are pretty tight; and of course he's a monster physically. To the puck moving point, Mattias is great at winning puck battles and being in sound position in his own end, so as to create CHANGES of possession. If he can't capitalize on them all, his teammates can help. That's just part of the give and take.
