UGs biggest concern when we all moved on from Mitchy-pooh was how do you replace his 102pts. Well, we just got roughly 50 for $3.5M, so now we have $9Mish to get another 52 I guess. Seems very doable.
The Panthers has zero players even remotely close to 100pts, and they won the Cup. You need 4 lines that can score to be successful, you figure after watching this team for the last almost decade one could figure that out.
Wrong again. Barkov and Tkachuk have both had seasons of 95-100 points in their career. You’re lying to yourself to try and make this garbage player seem better than he is. He had 8 goals and 18 points last year, -13. That’s not a guarantee for 50 points. It’s also not a guarantee that even if he does get 50 points that they’ll be worth anything in the playoffs or if he’s a minus. But I bet you thought Malgin would score 50 points too.
You need stronger, two-way players to be successful. This guy is another tiny, weak, defensive liability playing with Tavares and Nylander. You figure watching this team lose the same way every year you’d learn a fucking thing by now.
