But how do you think a player gets 80 points? Do you feel like he does it on his own? What about help from those that surround him? How many wingers in this league are good enough to do that without a number one or two center to help them out? Radulov got 72 points in Dallas and could have done that here if he had help. As a winger he was the creator of offence on his line and that is not a recipe for success. We have Benn, Weber, Schlemko and Alzner on the back end, none of which is a pmd and only Petry has that ability but he is not a big point producer so no great help from our D either.I don't disagree about rebuilding off the ice. My only point is that it starts with getting an impact forward.
17 out of the 21 80 point players were on playoff teams. Until this team adds a player of that caliber they aren't going anywhere.
If its MB or someone else I don't care, but until that player is added the team is going in circles to nowhere.
We had what we needed with Subban, Markov and an up and coming Sergachev but we got rid of all three, all we needed was to add center help to that group of three and we are not where we are today. Adam, this team is at the bottom through self inflicted wounds and will not climb out of this mess until there is new leadership.
