Take out each of their first two seasons when neither was really a regular or had hit their stride and Rust averages ~56pts a season to Smith's ~51pts. Total, Rust averages ~52pts a year across his 537 game career. Smith's at right about 50pts a season on the dot over 804 games.
True,point averages aren’t everything …it’s pretty clear Rust has been less available due to injury over the years than Smith
I think we need our gm to make some calls to see what we really could get before we make any discissions.You retain on Jake at the TDL to sweeten the return (and open up the available destinations) and look to move EK this summer with money retained. Then you've got two retained slots taken up and Jake's comes off the books if the team wants to use it to move Rust or Rakell or whatever. I dunno. This team's dogshit and the people running it make damn sure it won't ever be anything but dogshit. Blow it up already.
Dubas should be discussing everyone who is not the core…see what the returns are
absolutely! and then go see if they want to stay. after they know what you think of them. they just might want to go.
he very well could be but then he would be doing something and that doesn't fit what some posters think.
Exactly. It's like would you rather have prime Crosby at $10 million or two 55 point guys at $5 million each. You don't just add up their totals to say the two 55 point guys are better value.
