Turris bounced over the lineup because he sucks and is an inadequate 2C...
The dude scored 51 points in Ottawa benefitting from playing with Hoffman, Stone, and prime Karlsson. He probably won't ever hit 50 points again.
No, he bounced all over the lineup because we already have our 4 center slots filled --- Duchene, Johansen, Bonino, and Sissons are our centers.
Well, you could say he bounced all over because of that AND because he can't seem to play wing for some weird reason.
I have no doubt he can get 50 points again. But he still sucks to 90% of the league, because you have to spoonfeed him the opportunity in order to obtain that. Still, if you project a gaping hole at 2C, he's certainly going to be adequate to fill that. He certainly was for us in 2017-18 when we had precisely that gaping hole to fill. And he did it playing with a sophomore Kevin Fiala and Craig Smith almost exclusively... not bad players, but certainly no Mark Stones.
What he did in the WC with Mantha was also very representative. Just run him out there with a player like that, and he'll chip in the necessary production to easily hit 50 points.
I think there have been a few teams mentioned with possible 2C openings around here... but Buffalo filled theirs, Florida and Minnesota have been mentioned, but it's not a big need around the league. Teams with that need are usually building too, and they have young players coming and don't want to block out their youngsters for 4 years. That's certainly true for Detroit at least. I don't think Edmonton should even be on the list, because Turris isn't what the Oilers are looking for. So it was a limited market to begin with, and now with Covid and everything, it could be zero market.
