I don’t know if that is an entirely fair take but he’s not a match up or responsible enough for defensive duties either.
30 points in 34gp is clearly 2nd line numbers.
Zero chance of that happening and that is the crux of the self inflicted frustration some of this fanbase.
With how many cap strapped teams they are there are very few rebuild options, and players we have available don’t fit in with trade partners.
If were far too screwed to build around Hughes and Pettersson why tf would Chicago and Adizona want them or give up assests to acquire them.
Too many variables especially with this management group. JT was as good as gone and to be moved at the deadline according to them at 9am then he signed an extension.
Some analyst on Sportsnet said the Flames would win the cup with all their depth last off season and they were humiliated by an incomplete Oilers team.
Pretty much this I even said at the time you’re beyond ridiculous if your concerned about Pearson who at worst is overpaid by 250-750k at most.
if you’re gonna be upset about a quality middle 6 player costing you a Josh Leivo PTO, I don’t know what to tell you.
Do you discuss anything without putting words in peoples mouths and moving goal posts.
I don’t think he started near his cap hit but the whole team was absolute garbage to start the year.
I also don’t think he’s as far off it since than as some like you think he is. He was much better and playing to his cap hit last season though and was still being piled on by you.
