I agree when you have a player that is a center, that has winger eiligibility it's huge, as you can play then at wing along with your centers, to rack up a greater total of faceoff wins. But end of the day Fisher is a better player than him, and brings the same game to the table, but at a higher level.

Simmonds is also a great get, and there's nothing wrong with veterans Doan and Alfredsson, and young Brayden Schenn.

But he is not a guy I would be too concerned about losing once he is ready to go - keep a very close on him on FA after you cut him and be the first one to grab him. I think given you could use a LW with 3 starters there I would grab whichever guy will give you LW status for now and let him go. You probably want to run a C in that utility spot as often as you can to compensate for FOW, because you look relatively studly in the other skater cats.
