Ah, so you were using AHL stats as your primary stat argument, as I suspected. Also, Blackwell is 28 and has struggled to make it on any NHL team, so it's not like Leo struggling to stay on a much deeper forward squad is really any different.@Seph I forgot to quote lol Blackwell was also near a p/pg in the A. You put Komarov down there and I doubt he is even close to .5 p/pg. blackwell has been figuring it out since last year, while Komarov is getting worse. They aren’t close at this point. Blackwell is superior to Komarov at this point. Hence why one is in the lineup and one isn’t. They tried Leo with Barzy and it didn’t work. Blackwell on the other hand is thriving.
But sorry, Panarin is better at elevating his linemates than Barzal right now. Barzal has a lot of room to grow still, but trying to act like it isn't Panarin making Strome and Blackwood look a lot better than they are is ignoring everything they've done at the NHL level prior.
