The guy leads the team in relative to team expected goals for percentage too, he looks good by basically every metric
What about the "stay on your feet" metric?The guy leads the team in relative to team expected goals for percentage too, he looks good by basically every metric
Probably wouldn’t be so high in that one, lolWhat about the "stay on your feet" metric?
Honestly, he has consistency issues but he’s good defensively, gets a ton of primary assists, drives play, can play well without top linemates, and shows up big in the post season. Super underrated top-6 winger. Contract isn’t actually bad at the moment (in fact it’s rather good), just bad term.I can deal with Killorn for all his faults because come playoff time all he knows how to do is win and score enormous goals. There's no sense in counting them all or recapping -he's proven it time and again for years now. I'll enjoy it while it lasts

He's not really a top-six winger anymore. I wouldn't be shocked if he starts the year on our fourth line.
I never understood the whole "Killorn is good defensively" argument. He's... alright. He's certainly no Palat. He's ideally not a got you would have in a shutdown role. He plays his position defensively which is fine, but he's not what I would call a "two-way" player as much as just that type of player.Honestly, he has consistency issues but he’s good defensively, gets a ton of primary assists, drives play, can play well without top linemates, and shows up big in the post season.

I think you are definitely underrating his playmaking and play drivingI never understood the whole "Killorn is good defensively" argument. He's... alright. He's certainly no Palat.

It is the same thing when people refer to him as a power forward because he's kinda big. He's really not. He certainly doesn't play like he is. I feel like he's the prime example of a replacement-level player in the NHL. He's just... average. Which is fine, and having that guy play on your third or fourth line is the type of depth all but maybe two other teams in the league would kill for, but he's a remarkably unremarkable player to me.

Killorn is fine for what he is and will be. A steady presence on Cirelli’s wing on the third line for $4.5m. As long as he scores 40+ points, is a + player, ups his game in the playoffs, plays 80+ games, and can be used in all situations ... the Lightning are getting a hell of a value.
He leaves us wishing for more because he is a pu$$y. But good hockey player and good value for a franchise that doesn’t value fighting and toughness.
Analytics like Killorn at least last seasonWhatever. Killorn is a beast. Shutup the analytics. Killorn pays off every day.
Depends what a "beast" means to you. Killorn is pretty average on every aspect.Whatever. Killorn is a beast. Shutup the analytics. Killorn pays off every day.

You got to tone it down with the advanced stats. I wouldn't be comfortable with a guy in top six who has barely topped 40 points aside from last season.Honestly, he has consistency issues but he’s good defensively, gets a ton of primary assists, drives play, can play well without top linemates, and shows up big in the post season.
