He's on pace for 33 whopping points.
This board sets a ridiculously low bar for him.
Third best I'd say. Nugent Hopkins has been the 2nd best player for the Oilers thus far.
That being said, and I've said it many times before, the hate of him is burned so deep into some guys that it really doesn't matter to them that he is playing the best hockey he has played in an Oilers uniform. If that third line sticks together and has the chemistry we have saw so far, the points will come. If he is given PP1 time and that third line gels, he will get 50 points.
But some guys will ***** just to *****. They want to have their cake and eat it too. They will ***** when he's in the top 6 and want him out, and then they will ***** when he's in the bottom 6 and not producing as much. It's never ending.
Clearly you haven’t been following his career or know much about it. His career high is 62 points. He has never been a massive point producer. In my mind he has been the Oilers second best forward. Yama has looked like a completely different player when he is playing with Lucic- that also has value. He is playing physical, strong on the forecheck, and creating time and space for his line mates while in a mentoring role.
Of course he is with rose colored glasses.
Fact is he doesn't have a point since the 1st game and has 1 shot on net in the last three games.
I doubt he gets 50 points.
He's on pace for 33 right now while being gifted all the 1st unit PP time possible and the PP is actually scoring some goals.
that Talbit guy is doing okay
I'd give him 2.5he had one good game.
i need him to double that.
Lucic has had at least 3....by my eye.

Lucic has had one scoring chance in 4 straight games, lol, but he's had 3 great games already this season?
He's visually better this year than lastHe's on pace for 33 whopping points.
