Jamie McGinn is not just some throw in to a large trade. He is a productive player that is entering the prime of his career.
While he is not a player that can make or break your team, he is a very good role player for any teams third line. He’s capable of playing on any line. In Colorado McGinn played on lines with Ryan O’Reilly and Nathan Mackinnon, as well as lines with role players like John Mitchell or Max Talbot. Dan Bylsma will be able to put him on any line he wants.
