lol at that one game sample size.
He's been fine. He leads the league in shots from the slot.
Totally unimpressive.

Yeah, if he's on one of his lazy cold streaks and Matthews isn't healthy to pick up the slack, you're gonna lose a chunk of games until a few weeks later where he'll have a 4-point night in a 6-1 whooping of some other team. But until then, get ready for more 2-1 losses like the one against Dallas last night.
not better than Matthews and Marner.
Streakier then I would like but he always puts in good effort and plays hard.
Even on an off night, he's creating chances. Idk if he's worth 11 mil, but we didn't have to give up assets to get an elite player which is great.
And because he was one of the most prolific junior players of all time.A player with his history does not warrant 11m. No individual trophies or team trophies. No 90+ point seasons. 66 points 2 years ago..
He got over paid purely because he was a UFA and there was a bidding war.
Trade for karlsson 1 for 1 lol?His career is over dude, move on.
And because he was one of the most prolific junior players of all time.
And because he was a former 1st overall pick.
And because he led his team in scoring in 7 of 9 seasons with the islanders.
And because he was the captain for the last 5 seasons.
And because he is 10th in PPG among active NHLers who have minimum 500 points.
And because he is 6th in GPG among active NHLers who have minimum 200 goals.
But ya, his history does not warrant 11m and he got over paid purely because he was a UFA and there was a bidding war, in which he didnt accept the highest bid.
Dude's not a leader hes a high end complimentary player that was asked to be the guy on the Island and could not cut it. Not his fault, very good player, but not great and not better than Matthews and Marner.
BarzalFind a center better than Tavares not names McDavid, Crosby, Malkin, McKinnon, who can carry a team on their backs alone

Mathews
Eichel
Pettersson
Backstrom
Barkov
Scheifele
Bergeron
Kopitar
Seguin
These are centres i think that are better than Tavares OR who i would choose over Tavares if i was starting a team today.
No Barzal on this list. Would you trade Barzal for any of these guys straight up or are you viewing Barzal still as future potential star? I would think the Leafs would trade JT for Barzal straight up, even with money aside.
I love matt barzal, hes as dynamic as they come but i dont think you can build a team around him w. Him being the main piece. Hes a set up man that can produce points.
I would argue you can build a solid first line around him without having a complimentary second line center, even in his second season.
But im talking about winning cups.
Can Isles win the cup w Barzal being the best player ?
The list i made are in imo centres that their respective teams can win the cup with if they were the best players on their team.
I just dont believe Barzal plays that type of game but it doesnt take away from his talent.
