Hmm, interesting. If we go by your logic lets look at Pirri, who you rate very high but Q doesn't give a chance.
Oct 17 and 19 games Pirri had 2 goals and 1 asst in those 2 games. From Nov 6 through 17, a 6 game stretch, Pirri nets 4 goals and 2 assts. Those 2 short stretches combined he gets 6 goals and 3 assts in 8 games.
The other 16 games Pirri gets a a grand total of 0 goals and 2 assts. So lets go by your logic and throw out the minor 8 game stretch of Pirri and go with the trend, the 16 game stretch that really matters. 0 goals and 2 assts in 16 games playing primarily on a line with Kane and Saad. With this logic Pirri is pretty much a bum then and belongs on the Charleston Chiefs with the Hansen bros, not with the Hawks.
And yes, Pirri doesn't make the money Bickell makes. But Bickell is also getting paid for already proving himself, pirri has proven nothing. When Pirri gives us 9 playoff goals and helps us win a cup then maybe we can give him some slack too. Until then I will go with your logic and throw out any short stretches of good games any player has and only look at the bad stretches. Keep staring only at the brown in life.......
