So Komarov.. A 3c winger, out producing Kadri (not saying he's better than Kadri but out producing him) is dragging Kadri down? I don't want to nitpick and change what you are trying to say but that's the vibe I'm getting from you, correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm just confused at how Komarov playing in the same shutdown role and is considered a 3c is out producing a player who should not be held accountable unless he plays with 1st/2nd Liners.
How about maybe... We start holding players accountable for their own play? Sure a player can do better with better linemates but then what does that say about that so called player.
People where saying the same about Kessel when he played with Bozak... How Kessel will be so much better without Bozak riding the coat tails..
...Now Kessel played with the best Center in the league and where is he now? 2nd line playing with Malkin (still a 1c) and how far apart are Bozak and Kessels numbers now? With Bozak playing with 3c wingers?
Separated by 3 points. Just an example at how much weight these poor excuses really hold.
Fact of the matter is players should be held accountable for there play.
I am not going to sit here and argue with you all day - if you feel that Bozak is a better player then so be it (I don't have any thing against him)
You don't like Kadri - that's fine with me, I am not here to convince you
I believe Kadri is the best forward on this roster and that's my opinion, do you want me to change my opinion
The overall talent on this team is sub par and you expect Kadri (a 2nd line center) to outscore the top lines of the league (how fair is it?)
The fact is this team is very thin on talent and we do not have legit top 6 wingers except for JVR. Leo is one of my favorite player on this roster, but I am sorry he is not a top 6 winger and might not score at the same level as he did in the 1st half
