- it's interesting how many people think Batherson could lead the team in scoring given he isn't paid as high as a few others in the top six but should have been I think they'rs right, he could lead this team in scoring, he certainly has the potential as long as some dick doesn't take him out.
- also interesting how many people think Norris will get so many pts given it wasn't all that long ago when we were arguing whether he was a #1 centre or not. He clearly has proven he is a #1 centre & hopefully will continue to get better & produce pts.
- if both Batherson & Norris improve on last yr's stats it will only make sense that Tkachuk should also improve & increase his pt production as well. Should be an interesting race between the two top lines as to who at the end of the season end up with more pts.
- as a number of our UFAs are replaced hopefully they are replaced with better more productive players increasing scoring even more but just as important will be reducing the goals against. It's the defensive part of the game that needs to improve, this team will score plenty of goals, it will be keeping it out of our own net that will determine if we make the playoffs or not. Hopefully, the pffensive improvements will make up for the defensive lapses.
