I wouldn't be disappointed at all if MacIntyre's sole role here included a focus on skill players on any team that runs around on the Oilers

To me, heavyweight vs. heavyweight fights are predictable and don't affect the other players. Want impact? Affect the other players.

MacIntyre doesn't need to be proactive, necessarily. He just needs the other team to believe that he'll be very, very reactive. Could work.
