So you don't think playing with really good offensive players will help inflate a players #'s? I didn't say it as a knock, moreso as a matter of fact.
But yeah he put up the same PPG as last year, which is the same ppg that Nico put up this year. So why is this not a race?
I guess we really are disregarding the injury. That was supposed to be sarcasm, not a suggestion.
The race thing has to do with scouts saying their opinion of Hischier catching up to Patrick doesn't have to do with Patrick's injuries this season. But all Hischier had to catch up to was scouts impression of Patrick from last season. Scout's look for year to year progression from a player, and Patrick's injuries (both those that kept him from playing at all and the sports hernia he played with this season) kept him from being able to show progression.
Thus - it's not really a race if one player is standing still.
