My point being, we as Islander fans, constantly find our selves enamored with flawed mediocre players, such as Czerkawski, and PA. all the skill in the world does not make up for no brains, and all brains alone cannot make up entirely for lack of skill. Both of these guys have one thing in common. They had their best years while playing for bad teams, because they would get put into situations that benefited them. such as scoring in trash time, or getting carried by a star player.
Ironically, you missed my point. I was, pretty obviously disagreeing with you that PAP has no brains. He learned from his first year on NYI, becoming a much savvier hockey player.
The problem with PAP isn't that he's stupid. It's that he's *not* dynamic. He's not going to draw attention away from JT.
