I finally figured it out.
If a player has talent, then you automatically don't like them. Jones, and to a certain extent Panarin are the only skill players who escape your wrath. You'd hate being a Tampa fan. They only have 2 forwards who aren't skilled and who aren't fast skaters.
But, you're probably right. Based on last night, Jenner and Murray are PPG players.
"To a certain extent", Panarin? I'll put it this way: Panarin > Jones > Johansen > Bobrovsky ....Value to this team (all) at a hypothetical 7 mil a year. He's a big reason I think we should move away from Bob. If Johansen is REALLY "worth" 8 million, how much could Panarin ask for?
You
literally have no idea what you are talking about. 1 of the main reasons I became a CBJ fan was because of Nikolai Zherdev. Big fan of Brassard and other skilled guys that have had a bad "rap" over the years. Its just that you don't like that I come to the defense of "defensive minded" players that you don't like for various reasons, and like to continuously downplay their impact.
But something you've obviously never noticed, is that I never actually "attack" any of the skilled guys, just to do it.
Number 1, Josh Anderson isn't a "skill" guy, as much as you want to believe it. All the things I've said about Wennberg are now "consensus". I've had serious questions about Jojo's "work ethic" and "character" going way back. I think Werenski need to focus more on his actual defense, play a bit safer/smarter and that both Murray's offensive and defensive impact are underestimated by you and a decent amount of people. Wisniewski was an absolute liability most of his time here, even strength or on the PP. I'd like Bjorkstrand to be scoring a bit more, but I don't move him for practically anything and let him grow. Love me some Atkinson. And I'm so glad that
because of Jojo we got BOTH Jones AND Dubois and that they both seem to have a bigger imact. 50/50 on Millano. Look at Matt Calvert's 'junior' offensive stats compared to Josh Anderson's. Maybe its YOU, who's hating on the "skill" player.
In 2018, Jenner > Anderson. "Panarin time" is more valuable than PP time.
Remember, full glass of water.
