Now I understand that just looking at an assist column will yield a weak arguement, I think there is more to this than meets the eye.
Leafs have only 1 player in the top 90 players in the NHL in the assists column.
That player is Phil Kessel.
We are running a team where the majority of our assists are coming from a player that is expected to be scoring a lot of our goals.
One player cannot do it all.
I dont necessarily think we are missing someone of any specific forward position, we are missing someone with the vision of creating a play and being able to score a 1-pass goal.
Joe Thornton has more assists than Phil has in total points. Lets throw money at this gentleman in free agency and make sacrifices. Lets let our AHLers fill in the cracks.
