If he had played the whole season he would have hit 20 goals easily imo
15 goals in 66 games
That's not even a 20 goal pace... yet he would have hit 20 easily?

All caps need now is sign 10 more contracts at a 1.7 million AAV With Kuzentzov in there as well good luck
But yeah basically they're hoping they can get Kuznetzov, Burakovsky and Orlov for under 13 million. Then promote Vrana and Djoos for 1.5 million. Then they've got 3.1 million and a lineup that looks like this:
Ovi-Backs-Oshie
Mojo-Kuz-bura
Vrana-Eller-Connolly
Xxx-Beagle-Wilson
Orpik-Niskanen
Orlov-Carlson
Djoos-Chorney(or replacement)
They fill in the last two spots with cheap players, for under 3.1 together. The last D and the last winger
Or they somehow move Orpik or Mojo. Those are their options.
He didn't say he was on pace for 20 goals (though it comes out to 18.6 ). He was saying if he played those extra 16 games he would've hit 20, and I totally agree.
As somebody already said - a healthy scratch during playoffs....or his ice time went to nothing
Sounds like the GM is sayin' ..."welp, this is who we have on hand...so"
So despite shooting at an unsustainable 18.5%, and that his icetime was trending downwards as the season ended... he was going to get even better on that if he somehow had played those 16 games? LOL. Yep, sure thing.
He was a healthy scratch in the playoffs because we had 7 good D's. We won't have this "problem" next year, so he won't be scratched.
